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.

Re: GNU people including Debian stuff in their Makefiles

The only Debian feature in the GNU makefiles will be that they will be
capable of producing preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm shell scripts
for us, and the scripts will use a restricted command set compatible with
our base system. We can provide our own means of driving that Makefile.

They might even start using dpkg for their own stuff, in which case you
would get a second set of users you didn't plan for. Doesn't success
suck? :-) Maybe you'll even get some competent help.
