It's been a while since we discussed this, but it occurred to me that we
didn't really drill it down to the specifics.

So I think the following should be allowed for ubuntu-defaults-*
packages:

- Additional dependencies (depends.txt/recommends.txt)
- Arbitrary code to customize stuff on the CD (hooks/chroot); e. g. the Chinese 
image uses this to remove the English LibreOffice translations and pinyin ibus 
module, i. e. stuff that becomes redundant.
- All i18n settings (i18n/*)
- Default radio stations (multimedia/radiostations.txt)
- webbrowser search engine (webbrowser/searchengine.txt)
- Additional default bookmarks (bookmarks-{menu,toolbar}.txt)

The following should only be allowed for packages which are not named
ubuntu-defaults-*, i. e. OEM projects:

- Desktop background (desktop/background.jpg)
- Preferred applications to open documents (desktop/default-applications.txt)
- Session (desktop/default-session.txt), e. g. ubuntu-2d or xubuntu

The following are not quite clear, and they might or might not be
appropriate:

- Additional starters in the unity launcher (unity/launchers.txt and 
desktop/*.desktop)
- webbrowser start page; the French image uses our layout and ubuntu client ID, 
but adds an additional link to the French shop; the current Chinese ISO uses 
http://www.hao222.com/index.htm?tn=ubuntuu_hao_pg, which was requested by the 
OEM team back then, but might not be what we want?
