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.

DESCRIPTION
                ...
       dga  is  normally installed setuid root, but this has been
       disabled for the Debian release.

This is _NOT_ true for the following 

Package: xbase
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 5225
Maintainer: Mark W. Eichin <eichin@kitten.gen.ma.us>
Source: xfree86
Version: 3.2-5
Replaces: xstd

I will file this as a bug unless I hear more information to the contrary.

Jon.
