The choices I used for what stayed in the default packages were based on the comments by Alejandra Obregon in Bug #385850. I didn't want to get caught up in bike-shedding so I just went ahead with that list. The only comments made were positive factors about the hacks to keep. Though she did add that some of the ones moved were due to them being on your list of high-CPU usage ones. I could probably figure out which are which by cross referencing myself, but as she's on the canonical-ux team, perhaps she still has her notes and could share them with Robert?

It seems to me that the main point of creating the script was to make doing a simple merge easier. So I deffer to the Debian maintainer... =)
