Status applet to switch repeating keys on and off
This applet is useful to turn off the "longpress blue key" feature of the Maemo 5 PR 1.2 input method, so applications that utilize the keyboard repeat function (X Terminal, vim, mutt, etc..) do not break.
This version integrates into the status menu. A Desktop widget also exists (package name: repeatswitcher) if you prefer that.

File comparison utilities
The diffutils package provides the diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp programs.
diff' shows differences between two files, or each corresponding file
in two directories.cmp' shows the offsets and line numbers where
two files differ. cmp' can also show all the characters that
differ between the two files, side by side.diff3' shows differences
among three files. `sdiff' merges two files interactively.
The set of differences produced by diff' can be used to distribute
updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people.
This method is especially useful when the differences are small compared
to the complete files. Givendiff' output, the `patch' program can
update, or "patch", a copy of the file.
Due to conflicts with busybox and SDK, all binaries are stored in /usr/bin/gnu, which could be added to $PATH, or can be called with a 'g' prefix, e.g., 'gdiff' for diff.
