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: Changing the way we deal with source archives

Not optimally, so far. You use

	dpkg-source -b -ss directory directory.orig

to build the archive. Then hand-edit the additional 2 tar files into
the .dsc file.

Obviously, we need an argument to "dpkg-source -b" to specify a list
of .tar and _pre_existing_ .diff.gz files that are processed in the
order they are given on the command line. After they are processed, a
debian-specific .diff.gz is generated.
