A recurring problem. There's no limit to what people can be offended about. I could be offended by some passages in the bible (e.g. advocating the killing of homosexuals), but I see this in its context (it was written in the middle ages) and thus make no fuss about it if I would accidentally read it. Unfortunately people that are easily offended will always exist, even by simple human body parts displayed in a very abstract manner (more abstract than the pictures in any sexual education book). So we have to do something about it, because it's a given. I was thinking that maybe debtags would provide a solution. You can invent a tag "contains remote references to natural reproduction" and anyone can use that to filter out unwanted packages.
