Description:

community/ext3grep 0.10.2-4
    A tool to investigate an ext3 file system for deleted content and possibly recover it

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not say instead “data”?

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

community/webfs 1.21-13
    Simple and instant http server for mostly static content.

Even empty files without data inside can be served.

Description:

community/openstreetmap-map-icons-svn 31588-1 [installed]
    A set of public domain licensed map icons for general OSM use

It is questionable if it is “Licensed” or dedicated.

See the file:
/usr/share/licenses/openstreetmap-map-icons/svg-twotone/LICENSE.txt

it does not matter if the file is named “LICENSE”, it could be also named anyhow else.

There must be reason why the organization Creative Commons is not using the word “License” in that text, and that is why I propose to simply say in description:

    A set of public domain map icons for general OSM use

The aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers from [community] is compiled using the blobbed Linux kernel sources[0], and in Parabola it has been replaced with aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-libre-api-headers[1].
This issue is exactly the same as linux-api-headers, so it should be blacklisted and replaced using the Linux-libre source.
