Great.

Please note, however the fundamental difference between the terms 
"Debian packages" and "Debian packages".

Debian packages == software packaged in the dpkg format

Debian packages == software officially part of Debian

Quite confusingly both terms are expressed equally. :-P


I tend to use "packages in Debian" or "official Debian packages" to 
enphasize what I purely[1] want on my FreedomBox.

Others might be happy with packages produced by upstream authors, Ubuntu 
or someone else.

[1] Not entirely true: I also allow self-compiled packages on my 
systems, and trust my packages[2] to be useful for others too.  But 
anyone should judge for themselves, not just trust me ;-)


[2] Last I counted there was 500+ backported and/or tuned packages in my 
pile here: http://debian.jones.dk/
