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.
