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.

Freedom is more important than trace-ability.

Sure, dpkg-source changes will be an improvement in this area, but again
it should not be mandatory from the license. If some author insist on
unmodified source, this is not freely redistributable software, and it
should go to non-free.

There is already a paragraph in the GPL for "trace-ability":

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

Of course, our packaging method is better than that, but still anybody
should be free to take the package from Debian and repackage it in a
different way.
