...and the copyright (and redistribution terms) for those images needs
to be explicitely listed. Only _most_ of the pictures at this archive
are really free to use, as I understand it. E.g. this archive lists
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as one of their main sources, but
the FWS say "Not all the information on our site is in the public
domain. Some images/graphics are licensed for use under the copyright
law, [...]" (<http://www.fws.gov/help/policies.html#copyright>). Please
see <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218908;msg=29>
for a longer list dealing with tuxtype_1.5.3 (not in Debian, but parts
of this list apply to 1.0 currently present in Debian as well, see
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218908;msg=41>.

Methinks you already named it as underlined above, but possibly some
other people might want to chime in at this point...
BTW, there's someone interested in maintaining tuxtype, but currently
his approach seems to be to remove all questionable media files from
the package... Nathanael Nerode is on the spot, however.
Cheers,
