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.

Yes, it is a gratuitous change.  It is occasionally confusing on the
developer's end having 2 or more copies of the same tarred source
code.  On the other hand, it is not a critical item.  It should be
changed when possible.  It is nice to be able to compare file sizes,
to say nothing of md5sums, of our source files with the standard
distribution source files.
