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.

That's exactly the idea being discussed in several parallel threads
here. I only proposed to take into account "non-modified source only"
type of packages. This is the case when we can distribute source and
our diff's but cannot distribute modified binaries. We can't have
.deb packge on our ftp site in this case, only sources. To avoid
confusion while autocompiling distribution I proposed to place them in
a separate source directory.
