Obviously illegal material should not be distributed. How many of
these quotes do you find that violate the law in some countries?
Please, keep in mind that in Germany the nazi propaganda is out-of-law
but in some other countires out-of-law is the use of the name of the
profet (whoever he is). So, law compliance might not be as easy as you
pretend to be unless OUR ONLY culture is considered (which by the
way?).

>  * content that is impossible to justify against Debian's stated values

Nice, so we are going to burn "Mein Kampf" in such a way nobody will
be able to read it? Every library should do that, conforming to their
values. Burning books, uhm where we saw these before? So, the great
difference here is to explicitly tell the reader that the content can
be offensive in some culture or under some PoV.

This is exactly what the -o option does

-o     Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms.

Please, elaborate your opposition because it is quite generic,
everything above considered.
