I think I can pare this list down a bit:
apache-ssl and some of the ssh* packages are in non-US/main, while the
rest of the ssh* packages are in non-free. As long as we continue to
maintain an apt-get line for non-US, I don't see these as a problem
(as long as installation failures are adequately documented).
device3dfx-module is meant to be built from device3dfx-source,
similarly to pcmcia-source and pcmcia-modules. No one appears to have
provided a set of device3dfx-module packages for the standard kernel
packages yet.
qmail has to be built from qmail-src by the user due to licensing
restrictions.
lpd is likely a typo by a package maintainer; file a bug. (I should
know; I made the same silly mistake myself.) The package is "lpr".
Some of the mysql* stuff should be available from main now that TcX is
distributing a GPL version of MySQL.
