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.

pre/post install scripts and pre-depends

Ian Jackson has the final say on dpkg-related policies. I dislike perl
but it's diffficult to make a complex installation script in bash, and
you end up relying on a larger tool-set than perl - sed, cut, paste,
etc. I'd prefer that {pre,post}{install,rm} scripts be written for bash
if at all possible.

I think it makes sense for _all_ packages to have a pre-dependency on
the package that provides the interpreter for their
{pre/post}{install/rm}.

Christophe, can you make "debmake" provide this pre-dependency if it
does not do so presently?

	Thanks

	Bruce
