Here is my list:

Some comments:
- All version numbers in these repositories seem to be sane, i.e. the
version number is lower than the official sarge/sid version so updates
will hopefully be painless when sarge is released.
- Adrian also has a backport of OpenOffice.org in his contrib section.
I don't know the difference between his packages and the ones from
vpn-junkies.de.
- Colin's Apache 2.0 backport is currently at version 2.0.45 which
contains at least one DoS. But it's the only way to get subversion on
woody.
- The last two repositories include a lot of library updates. If you add
them to sources.list you'll need to download a lot of packages after
you have installed the packages from the CD and your system will be
very different from standard woody. This is also true for KDE 3.1.
