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: Interesting dpkg issue, plus thoughts...

Part of the problem here is that dpkg-source *has* some important
bugs.  Seperating out which are really bugs and which are bad packages
is a hassle that shouldn't happen; if you could say "if dpkg-source
fails, the package is misconstructed" that would be *wonderful* but
for that to be true, dpkg-source needs to be "beyond reproach", ie. it
has to be *solid*.  It isn't; the 3.3 packages have been out for a
month and it still can't handle them, even though they *are*
correct...  Sure, I haven't had time to implement a fix; I even know
that someone is putting some work on it.  But I believe that
dpkg-source won't be taken seriously as an "arbiter of correctness"
until it gets out of the "nuisance that we use anyway" state.  Brutal,
but dpkg-source is *important to our whole debian way-of-life*.  It's
got to be better than this.
