Shipping gambling software is already forbidden in some jurisdictions 
since Debian does not do age verification. At least if the gambling 
involves money in some way. Needs further investigation, does Debian 
have such a package?

Shipping youtube downloaders has been negatively decided by at least one 
court case in one country that I know of, but the verdict is only 
enforcable inter partes. Shipping carries significant legal risks though.

Shipping games without age verification is another risk. Has anybody 
ever reviewed the games Debian ships under that aspect? I'd help with 
such a review, I just don't want to install all those games and waste 
time on playing them.
