Looking at non-US/main, most of it is already obsoleted by packages in
regular main:
--- non-US/main packages obsoleted by packages in regular main ---
erlang
erlang-base
freeswan
gutenbook
kernel-patch-freeswan
libcrypt-des-perl
netsaint-nrpe-plugin (by nagios-nrpe-plugin)
netsaint-nrpe-server (by nagios-nrpe-server)
netsaint-plugins (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-extra (dummy package)
netsaint-plugins-fping (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-game (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-ldap (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-mysql (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-pgsql (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-radius (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-samba (by nagios-plugins)
netsaint-plugins-snmp (by nagios-plugins)
pavuk
pgpgpg
php4-mcrypt
ssh-askpass
The remainder consists of a few rather obscure packages:
--- packages in non-US/main I couldn't find equivalents for in regular main ---
erlang-slang
gutenbrowser
httperf
pipsecd
tunnelv
vtun
zmailer-ssl
Now that we have crypto in main, the only real use for non-US is for
packages that are encumbered by patents in the US which aren't encumbered by
patents in the EU. I am not aware of any practical packages that fall in
that category at the moment.
