No. I believe what Finn-Arne mentions is well-known ones only, not a
complete list - judging from his own words recently on the issue of what
is actually based on Debian Sarge in the current snapshots aiming at
becoming next official Skolelinux release:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2005/05/msg00205.html
I suspect the count to be higher than the above two plus the one
specifically discussed in the referenced debian-edu thread.
Sure, most of the unofficial packages for Skolelinux is improvements
expected to get included in a later Debian release, but just as Ubuntu
isn't "official Debian" so is also not Skolelinux currently.
So I dare repeat myself: Adding a few more packages unofficially (that
breaks policy) shouldn't be a big deal for Skolelinux.
