Who told you that? It's true that contrib/ doesn't need to be in the binary packages in debian/ubuntu/redhat/whatever, but it does need to be in the source tarball, so that the tests are runnable. We shouldn't ship tarballs that fail to run the tests, because we decided not to put a contrib python file in there.
