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.

 Debian should be always in the edge (is this correct English? =)) for
this to happen.. that means to have the newes kernel support programs as
.deb's. If we had a simple way to make package, we could convince the
developpers of these programs to directly support Debian too.
 
Perhaps it sould be nice to have a utility that helps maintaining a
Debian/Redhat package with little effort. Perhaps sharing source code for
the package, perhaps with a build utility that starts from a RH source
package with the necesary Debian additions.
