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.

Re: source packages and upstream source

> 3) name-ver.debian         *This* is the working debianized tree

Generally when creating a package, I unpack the upstream source to
foo-1.1, move the directory to foo-1.1.orig, and then unpack it again
to foo-1.1. Then I go to work on the foo-1.1 directory.

It's not at all clear why I'd want to unpack the original source to
foo-1.1, and then rename that to foo-1.1.debian, and then unpack to
foo-1.1 again. The procedure in the first paragraph seems more
straightforward.

In the case that I am revising a package, I generate a diff first, and
then apply the diff to the new package version. Again, over-writing is
not a factor.

Maybe I'm missing something?
