Yes, if a package is illegal in a jurisdiction we care about (this does 
not necessarily include the whole world), it needs to be removed. Full 
stop. There is no compromise possible on that. I'm not discussing morals 
here. I'm discussing law.

That being said I have not downloaded and checked any fortune package 
myself because messages in this thread described content that is illegal 
in my jurisdiction. Nothing said in this thread convinced me otherwise.
