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.

I would say they can be imported, just not run ;-)

Would an ``Are you in the USA ?'' question in the preinst handle this ?

That is a shame, but the US companies have the US government to thank for 
putting them at a competitive disadvantage.

Cheers, Phil.
