Sure: the already cited
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00126.html
has a (possibly incomplete) list of packages including
CC-v2.x/CC-v1.0-licensed works.

I've just rechecked them, to see if things have changed since September
2007: it seems that nothing changed, except for scorched3d (where a
work apparently switched from CC-v2.0 to CC-v3.0)...

That's exactly what I think (I also think the same about
CC-v3.0-licensed works, but this will be much harder to fix, since the
rest of the Universe seems to disagree with me on this point...).

In the above-cited message I stated I didn't know what could be done
and asked for suggestions.  The only suggestion I received was a "nice"
answer from Steve Langasek who told me to "stop crapflooding
debian-legal":
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00128.html
Only MJ Ray replied to Steve's ad-hominem attack:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00153.html

So, now I am once again aground and don't know what can be done...
:-(
