Great package name "virtual Richard M. Stallman" but I don't think it's
that accurate. For example it didn't pick-up packages I've installed
from the partner repo - skype and adobe-flashplugin.

Either way I couldn't do without these packages and although I could do
without the others (MS TTF fonts, Virtualbox guest additions, rar/unrar,
AAC audio encoding) I'd really rather not. Not to mention that not
having the wifi firmware on my other computer (a laptop) would be an
instant deal-breaker.
