CensorNet was removed because it is an ISO only install.  It requires
you to completely format the machine to install it.  It contains other
GPL software and has a customized configuration for the other packages,
it appears to be dialog based but I haven't checked to make sure.

Being on the list of having Debian packages does not mean that it
"passed" the test.  We can say that anything that is found at Debian.org
automatically passes and the non-debian distributed ones have to be
tested, it makes it easier that way.

Actually nowhere, when I said that I was on it, I didn't mean on top of
it, sort of 100 miles east of it.

I will put it down on my todo list.
