Another possibility is having a dummy package ("pc"?) within Debian
that Conflicts: with packages containing offensive stuff -- much like
the "harden-*" packages work now.
I don't intend to do it, but it'd be an idea. I'm not sure it's a
great path to go down, though -- making pseudo-packages just to block
out each others' packages. Although I _would_ kind of like to maintain
the i-hate-python package... Hrm...
