In the Synaptic Package Manager and installed (local or obsolete)
Just wondering if they be safely removed if they are obsolete

Packages that do not belong to any of your repositories will show up in
this section.

For instance, I have Adobe Flash Player 9.0 in this section as this
package was manually compiled and installed by me - it was not fetched
from any of my current repositories.

libsword5c2a is another package. If I'm not wrong, they forgot to
include that as a package when Edgy was released. I'd downloaded and
installed it manually.

If your not too certain if they're useful, I might suggest that U leave
them alone.
