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 see. I think, then, I'd provide kernel-headers in the next
 set of scripts (I noticed that Simon over-rode me deletion of kernel
 headers for the latest 1.3.100 packages), and downgrade it's priority
 to extra.  Anyone else has any comments?
