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.

Good idea, although it would be best to know the versions of each package
in use.

Additionally, this functionality for each individual Debian system should
be in a separate package.  And it should be very clear that the package is
NOT required.  I'd suggest putting it in the "Extra" section.  And explain
to the user very clearly what is going on.  We want to avoid at all costs
any problem with people complaining about people spying on systems and/or
people complaining about unknown mails.
