I was thinking about this too.  I think, it is not enough to have
a note in the Package discription which let the $USER know it is
offensive stuff. My daughter (13 years) do not speak english (ok,
she is learning at school) but learn by doing... 

She know very well how to use 'apt-get' and 'aptitude' and had told
me some times bizzar stuff in Debian...

This is what I have already suggested with a seperated mirror.
Which must explicit selected like "non-US" or "security".

Right, but using a seperatly Mirror can be very helpful.
