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.

One thing I *would* really like to see added to dpkg is the ability
for it to automatically sort for dependencies.  Actually, what I'd
really like is a separate tool that takes a list of packages and
returns them in dependency sorted order.  (I'm about to implement that
very thing for dftp using (at Bruce's suggestion) tsort).

Having dpkg do it during a multi-package install wouldn't be optimal
since it wouldn't help in cases where you want to install a bunch of
packages separately, but in the correct order.
