One option would be to add it to "tainted", but have it require a dummy
metapackage from "non-free" repository, so that it can be only installed
if non-free media is enabled. It might cause too much confusion, though,
as the error message wouldn't be very clear.

Most (if not all) of those either
a) do not have patent issues and are thus eligible for mga/mdv non-free
repositories (mdv didn't have a non-free section until 5 years ago,
explaining why they are in plf), or
b) are completely unredistributable, and thus uneligible for any mga/mdv
repository.
