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.

David, you answered quicker than I did on this :-)
It justs happens that I maintain 5 of these tcl/tk packages for 
debian (tclx7[456] and tix4[01]). I think I could hack them so that 
they do not refer to the sibling directory. I'd probably need some 
include files from tcl/tk stored in the devel package as well.
Should we try to go in this direction ?

IMHO, this is a really bad coding practise. It's kind of like 
requiring the complete source code of libc to compile any program.

Phil.
