I will note that the package is not available for Jessie or Stretch 
except as a download from Sid.I gather the package maintainer has a 
problem with it too. Perhaps the openclipart packages should be divided 
into categories which would allow for more targeted downloads. People 
looking for animal clipart, for example, may not want furniture clipart 
installed as well. This would allow for "sexy-female" and "sexy-male" 
packages that aren't installed except by explicit request.
