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.

There has been some talk of chroot environments to build stable packages
in. I think this is a good idea -- I have tons of free disk space, but I
can't reboot my system every time I must build a package for stable. A
small installation of stable, accessed with chroot, would seem to be the
answer.
