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.

Very good idea.  In fact, this should be rather trivial to implement if we 
make use of virtual packages and a few modifications to dselect.

Eg, have a set of virtual packages that is presented in a special menu in 
dselect.  If a user chooses to install one of the categories, all packages 
that provide that particular virtual package are tagged for installation.

Maybe I'm missing something here and it would really be harder, but it seems simple at first glance :-)
