Excluding packages

Hi,

it turned out that there are problems distributing official Debian DVDs in certain countries (e.g. Germany) without violating some laws.

It may be helpful if we could provide means to build custom Debian CDs and DVDs with the official tools that would not contain affected packages.

In some countries games that contain a certain level of violence must not be distributed to underaged. However, we do want to distribute Debian to users younger than 18 years as well.

Is there a commandline option like "--exclude-from file" that will exclude all packages mentioned in file and packages depending on them from the build process?

If not, would it be possible to develop such an option eventually?

Regards,

Joey
