I think you missed my point. Many, if not most of these are not standard
linux packages. atlas? cblas? editline? libtar? "haskel compiler"?
Maybe you use these packages every day but I don't think they fall into
the category that I was looking for.
dmalloc (maybe), mysql, and (maybe) mozilla would be potential
candidates, though.
