main + contrib fit on one cdrom. so i propose

people (not debian) should then create a third cdrom with

(kde, netscape, whatever you want to include).
maybe the term "offical" for cdroms be used, if someone sells a set of
cdroms, constisting of the official cdroms and an extra cd with things
like debian-non-US, debian-non-free (those parts that are allowed to be burned
and sold), and other stuff like 2.0 + 2.1 kernel source, netscape, mozilla,
