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, we do.  Ian already acknowledged that this was a mistake.

I'm on Spring Break for a week starting right this second.  Since I'm
such a loser, I was just planning on catching up on classes &
research, and I wanted to release a new dpkg with a better
dpkg-source.

So far, I'm going to make it

1) allow directories besides debian/ in diffs.  It will make the
directories itself as some ancient patch versions can't.

2) allow the upstream source to unpack into any unique directory name.
It will rename it to packagename-version.orig.

3) refuse to build things that it will later refuse to unpack.

Anything else important?
