Packages that do not belong to any of your repositories will show up in
this section.

For instance, I have Adobe Flash Player 9.0 in this section as this
package was manually compiled and installed by me - it was not fetched
from any of my current repositories. 

libsword5c2a is another package.  If I'm not wrong, they forgot to
include that as a package when Edgy was released.  I'd downloaded and
installed it manually.

If your not too certain if they're useful, I might suggest that U leave
them alone.
