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.

I think this was someone who was getting started, but didn't have
anything yet.

However, this doesn't help people who want to work on alternate
install tools at all, which is all I'm concerned with at the moment.
Sometime this weekend I hope to finish an initial pass at the sorting
tool.

I thought that dselect already did the right thing, so I wasn't even
considering that.  If it turns out the tool I'm working on sorts
better than dselect's algorithm (which I highly doubt), then dselect
can just be modified to call it.
