Yeah. Anything on this (long) list should be ok for us to work on, if
my quick inspection of the options selected is correct:

http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php?bydist=squeeze&sortby=packages&ignhinted=on&ignclaimed=on&ignnew=on&ignsec=on&ignpending=on&ignpatch=on&igncontrib=on&ignnonfree=on&ignbritney=on&ipv6=on&doublebuild=on&recommends=on&rmdepmake=on&goal-dash=on&new=9&refresh=18000

Full list of bugs affecting debian testing (contains non-free and
contrib, view with care).

http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html

I'll work on a list here [0] which people can refer to. Please feel
free to add things to it as they are found - eg, freedom issues with
debian, or just things we'd want to fix anyway.
