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.

Are you kidding?

For developers, the Debian build process is constantly changing.  We
have changed from debian.* to debian/*, in addition to changes to
control and changelog.  We added the architecture field.  We are
constantly making incremental changes which can be difficult to keep
up with.  Fortunately, we have tools to help the developer package
correctly, or at least complain about incorrect packaging.  Our base
format may not change, but that part is hidden and transparent to
developers anyway.
