Some corner cases can be tricky to decide, and it's good to take time and make sure we have the right decision before listing something. Please do not add a package to this list until it's been discussed on the gnu-linux-libre mailing list and/or with RMS. The initial list comes from Trisquel, and should also match gNewSense filters, so it contains both Ubuntu specific packages and common ones too. The list below includes package names, details about the problem and citations, and recommended strategies for addressing the issue as appropriate. Developers working on these distributions should take special care to make sure that these issues are addressed in one way or another.

These packages all present some kind of issue for distributions that are trying to follow the Free System Distribution Guidelines.
