Debian can be used to draw picture of naked people.

My specific concern of this is what it will make people new to
the concept of Linux think.

A secondary concern is the one Ron Johnson expressed, this opening
the floodgates to a bunch of political rants being submitted as
packages.  Given the temperament of the people involved, that's the
most likely risk.

A tertiary concern is what happens if somebody submits a strip-poker
package.  Then a "porn-of-the-month viewer."

Of course there is Bible software in Debian, so, maybe nobody cares.
Hurting converts to Debian is my biggest concern.
