A few other things which might need updating at some point: - chromium is no longer exactly the new kid on the block. - virtualbox is no longer in main (after wheezy). - I think the Firefox issue is misrepresented: isn't that about trademark and not about non-free licensing? - in the debsums part, apt-get --reinstall -d install can be replaced with apt-get download, which is a bit more straightforward than the option dance (I guess it was borrowed from aptitude).
