In the script to build the orig file you will see which extlibs have been 
removed for the Debian package.

I'm not a license expert either. I'm not totally familiar with the concept 
of "license conflict/compatibility". Since
1- Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike (CC-BY-SA) v3.0 and GPLv2 meet the 
The Debian Free Software Guidelines according with 
http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses. 
2- The 9th point of the DFSG says: "License Must Not Contaminate Other 
Software".

Then, there is no problem, AFAICS, to distribute (CC-BY-SA) v3.0 and GPLv2 
software in the same package. Which license correspond to which part of the 
code should be specified in our copyright file 
(http://w3af.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/w3af/extras/debian/trunk/debian/copyright?view=markup).
 
The w3af license only applies to w3af code.

The file is part of the package 
http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=common_dirs_small.db&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=any
 
but I missed it in the copyright file. Thanks for the spot, now is fixed.

nltk is a big problem. see http://bugs.debian.org/571004 and 
http://bugs.debian.org/279422 . I'm waiting for a resolution of #279422. 
Otherwise, w3af won't be part of the next Debian release.

licenses are complicated :/
