Yep, but I was thinking more in the lines of a shrink-wrap license, as
somebody suggested. Or rather, this was what I was worried about. This is a
very special clause, so I wanted to make sure that if I included it in the
long description, that would be okay. Personally, I'm a little dubious as to
the legality - anybody can install a package from Debian's main-archive,
knowing the backgorund of the license somewhat, but this.. well, you'd pretty
easy break the license by doing an apt-get install filterproxy, and then
filtering users contents.
The only solution that really fits is a yes/no question in a preinst script,
but that's ugly. However, if that's the way, that's the way...

Well, it's not just about removing ads. It can do that, as well, but it'll
also allow you to use Transfer-Enconding (gzip, et al), de-animate gifs, and
such. But no relevance to the thread, so I'll just shut up :)
