Yes, you might end up highlighting it, but what I assumed from the OP is
not that the children were looking for clipart packages, but rather
looking through clipart that the parent had already installed. So
separating it would still help in that situation.

If I were searching for inappropriate imagery, 'apt-cache search' is one
of the last places I'd look.
