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.

Since becoming a "release candidate", every package I allowed into
the distribution was approved by the testing group before hand.  I
have allowed no packages in at all for a week.

I'm not sure how these got installed, but I did _not_ approve them!  Guy?

Looking at them, though, the only potential problem I can see is automake.
The first two are documentation only and the last two are probably only
minor packaging changes.

You're correct though in that there is _no_way_ these should have been
let into the distribution when the mirrors are trying to catch up and
people are trying to form CD images.
