The package angband-doc suggests angband. So if you're looking at the
details for angband-doc, but don't have non-free in your sources, then
the entry for angband in the "Suggests" section will have (UNAVAILABLE)
to the right of the name.
In my case, since I do have a non-free source entry, but don't have
angband installed, I see (UNSATISFIED) in the above scenario.
Cheers,
Tom
