  Apart from your other suggestions I'm thinking of
 making a small  list of classes of packages which 
 can be done from start to finish.

  I like the idea of covering PHP code, and I think
 that another obvious `class` of packages is apache
 modules.  I've mostly covered the core apache2
 modules already, and not found anything which 
 you can trigger without access to the configuration
 file (ie. root access).

  But there are a fair number of other modules which
 could be examined too.
