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.

Perhaps we could make a little "preupgrade" script that does this and just
tell people to run that? It's not so much that people upgrading debian will
have trouble with this, it's that a newcomer to debian might see these
cryptic commands in the install docs and get worried about how easy debian
is to upgrade later.
