Actually I just made such a list by just doing a find on a compiled
source tree, piping to type, and grepping for 'not found':

ddate                   NO - silly
dsplit                  split
whereis                 YES?
ctrlaltdel              NO - obsolete
sln                     NO - obsolete
readprofile             NO - obsolete
setsid                  YES?
cytune                  YES?
rev                     tac

dsplit and rev have the same functionality as split and tac provided by
other packages.  ddate is a bit too silly to have all users install it;
ctrlaltdel, sln, and readprofile are obsolete; so whereis, setsid, and
cytune are truly missing.

I'll add whereis for the sake of completeness.  cytune is a pretty
specialized utility so I'll put in its own package, and setsid is of
dubious use on a job control shell.  I suppose I'll include it as it's
tiny.
