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.

No.  Virtually all X programs don't care where they're displayed, and if
they are displayed remotely, all they need is xlib6.  They should only need
xbase if for some reason they need *local* X display capabilities (and even
then, that might not be the right way to do it).  I posted to debian-devel
about a week ago about this and some other stuff which came up while fixing
the X virtual package stuff, if you want to read more about it.

Should do.  :-)
