"It is stock except" = "not stock".

Any others that could cause problems? Pretty much any package has dependencies and/or provides something used by others. You will have to do a complete dependency tracking to make certain what your non-stock packages can interact with, which is a very daunting task. Checking provides and requires on the rpmdb is just the first step, and things can get really ugly when the interaction is done using unix sockets or, god forbit, dbus.
