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.

IMHO it's very useful for creating meta-packages or simple
wrapper-packages that only "provide" a few packages but install no files
(useful if a sysadmin has local versions of some files and wants to
satisfy dpkg's dependencies).

I don't think this is a problem. When you have something finished, just
send it to me or post it on debian-devel and I (and probably others too)
will have a look.
