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.

Using Debian GNU/Linux you have do control which is upgraded.

You can use dselect's Update method. Or you can wade through any
Debian binary archive and copy/move/link all files you wish to
install aka upgrade into one directory and call "dpkg -i *" afterwards,

Needless to say that I prefer the latter?
