After writing this line, I read further in the thread where specific entries 
were identified.  The response of the maintainer expressing willingness to 
accept a MR removing them or otherwise consider discussion of their removal 
indicates to me that the primary point of my previous email was valid, which 
is that instead of removing the entire package it would be more valuable for 
Debian to develop an explicit set of standards for what constitutes acceptable 
content and then remove individual items from the package that do not meet 
those standards.

Developing consensus for such a standard is non-trivial work, as can be easily 
seen in the discussion so far.  But it is important work and no DD should feel 
they can impose their personal opinions on what this standard should be until 
the project as a whole has come to a consensus.
