No, not really, you can have a package that provide different binaries.
For example the samba package is mostly GPL software except for
pam_winbind and nss_winbind, which are not under the GPL. The "whole
package" does not mean much. It's the single binaries+libraries that
count.

I can very well see us distributing something like, let's say Xorg, with
a little GPLed GUI in the same package, this does not make the whole
package GPLed.

Simo.
