The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I was thinking about this.  Unfortunately, support for this would need
to be added to dpkg (using on the contents of /etc/options/stripping or
somesuch).  Otherwise, dselect would unpack gigabytes and fill the disk
when after stripping things would just barely fit.  But it seems to me
that it would be reasonbly easy to accomplish.  And no extra
inconvenience than asking Yet Another Question during install.
