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.

Yes, there exists that risk...

Well, you could make debian/rules to display a message like this:

Because of license restrictions, this package is distributed as
source+diff and no .deb binary package is available.
Please don't distribute the resulting .deb package of this.

Press Enter


Just an idea...
