I think I perfectly understood your question and IMHO it is perfectly
answered by "Everything that is used and has a free license." and I
really mean this literally. There is no point in excluding something
for the pure artificial reason that there will be not so "much"
(whatever measure of much you might use) users. The pure fact that some
package is needed by a Debian devivative (DouDouLinux or whatever) is a
pretty good reason to maintain the package inside Debian.
Kind regards
Andreas.
