Nothing immediate for the former, but for the latter, you may want to
look at the 'vrms' package.

It stands for 'virtual Richard M. Stallman', in honor of RMS' role as
the orienting compass of the Free Software movement (although its
criteria are based on the DFSG instead of RMS' own views), and what it
does is to scan the installed packages and report any which are from
contrib or non-free.

On my system (and I believe by default), it's set up with a monthly cron
job to send an E-mail with the output of the program. I review that list
every time, and there's rarely anything I feel I can clean up from the
list, but it has happened a time or two. To the best of my recollection,
I've never yet felt the need to run the program by hand.
