On a fresh LL 4.0 install synaptic considers 930+ packages being "local or obsolete". What should I do about this?
To provide further information, these are the enabled repos (untouched):

1) /etc/ap/spources.list
Code:
###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse

###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

###### Ubuntu Partner Repo
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner

2) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list
Code:
deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ diamond main

3) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/otto-kesselgulasch-ubuntu-gimp-xenial.list
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/otto-kesselgulasch/gimp/ubuntu bionic main

4) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teejee2008-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/teejee2008/ppa/ubuntu bionic main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/teejee2008/ppa/ubuntu bionic main
Just ignore it - Those packages were either installed manually (local) or the repository from which it was installed doesn't exist now/doesn't contain the packages anymore (obsolete).
Then I suppose these packages can be safely removed. Right?
No, leave them there, ignore. It doesn't impact you negatively.
