So close!

$ vrms
               Non-free packages installed on chunky

tangerine-icon-theme      Tangerine Icon theme
unrar                     Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)

               Contrib packages installed on chunky

ttf-mscorefonts-installer Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts

  2 non-free packages, 0.1% of 1745 installed packages.
  1 contrib packages, 0.1% of 1745 installed packages.

Echoing Adi Roiban's thoughts on tangerine-icon-theme, either it doesn't ship copyright info, or vrms doesn't like CC-BY-SA. Regardless, I use Tango, but apparently I can't remove this without taking out ubuntu-desktop. Is it possible to drop this from Depends to Recommends? :D

Using Intel graphics (i945), Intel wireless with iwl3945. No restricted-modules packages installed (in fact, I can't find those packages in the karmic archives anyway).

I hate unrar, and wish unrar-free worked a little better or that people would stop using the rar format.

If the font situation improves in the future, mscorefonts won't be needed. Perhaps it has improved already; I'll admit to having not tried other font sets.

Updates: Removed ttf-mscorefonts in favor of ttf-liberation, and liking it so far. Also filed 427401 regarding tangerine-icon-theme.

I've also realized that I'm using Adobe Flash, but it's their own amd64 library that I manually installed.
