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.

Chapter 2 of the policy manual states that packages "where the source
code which may be distributed is not the complete source code required
to compile the program (ie, the program cannot be compiled using only
packages in the main Debian distribution) may only be placed in the
semi-supported contrib section."

So defrag can go intro contrib, but not into the main distribution.
