I compared these with the ones included in the Squeeze DVD (not yet
building Wheezy DVD, so it is harder to check those), and these are
not included on the Squeeze DVD:

  bluefish
  chromium
  drpython
  escputil
  flashplugin-nonfree
  freemind
  gvrng
  ibus-anthy
  icedtea-plugin
  kdegraphics
  python-easygui
  scratch
  ttf-larabie-deco
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  vlc

Can you explain why you install these packages?  Which one do you
recommend to install as part of the Debian Edu standard install?

If no-one object, I suggest we install all of the free software
packages, but thought it best to get some more background info
first. :)

I used this to generate the list, after sorting your list of packages
into extra.txt:

  cut -d_ -f1 pkgdeblist-squeeze-dvd.txt |sort|comm -13 - extra.txt
