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.

now we have to define what belongs to these big packages. The results
of our discussion should IMHO be saved in the (hopefully) upcoming
meta packages format.

Is it possible to compile and repack the original packages on a
central server if a lib is changed (for all architectures)? 


By the way of freezing the distribution all packages with (critical)
should be moved to the unstable tree. In the same moment it's good to
check *all* dependencies and file bug reports against the involved
packages and/or move them to unstable.

Should it be possible to fix bugs until the next release comes up?
Perhaps is good to have a special server to recompile packages if the
maintainer has switched to the next library generation.

I think that this is very important.
