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.

that's very good. (btw: is there a mailing list for dpkg/dselect ? use
the admintool mailing list ?).

ok. some suggestions :
a) use the rpm binary format 1) for compatibility and 2) i like to see
md5checksum, pgpsignatures etc etc etc. checked by the package manager.

b) split dselect "select" into one method for installing, one for
installing additional packages after first installation and one expert
mode. 

c) create meta packages (why don't  gcc, binutils etc in one step. it's
not useful in most cases, to install only one of them.

...
