Yes.  I wasn't aware of those and they aren't (AFAIK) part of the default 
install.  They particularly aren't presented to me every time I log in to the 
system.  

Consider if every package that is in the default install produces some kind of 
advertising for it's developer and is present to the user on startup.  
Clearly that's an untenable situation.  I don't know of a sensible number 
other than zero that will not be controversial.  Additionally, Ubuntu 
developers who happen to work for Canonical will be poorly positioned to deal 
with more problematic cases (e.g. "What, it's OK for Canonical to advertise, 
but no one else").

I see this as a slippery slope we're better off not starting down.  If there 
are other cases, as long as they aren't presented to the user by default as 
part of a standard install, then I think they are not a problem.
