You apparently don't know apt-get.org - they already maintain such a
list.

I'm filing a (wishlist) bug with the www.debian.org pseudopackage that
the 'Getting Debain' page, or even the 'Getting Started' section of the
title page should contain a hint like

	Some Software is not included in Debian for various reasons, but 	is
nonetheless available as debian packages. apt-get.org
	maintains a list of such software.

Something like that.
cheers

As Jossip, I disagree that such information has its place in the
official Debian website. Such advice might be considered (or not) in a
document like the Debian reference, or simply go in the wiki if there is
really a need for it (didn’t check if it were already).
