Excellent idea. Here is a preliminary list, I just looked for .tar.gz files
in unstable that were not .orig.tar.gz files. I made 3 lists, actually. But
I know the first list is incomplete, because some things like cfingerd and
sysklogd didn't show up by this method and I had to add them by hand.
Packages with debian developers as thier upstream maintainers, that may be
in use by people outside debian. I have marked packages I'm sure are in use
elsewhere with a star.
