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.

Correct.

Note, that this is current policy anyways: 


     2.1.4 The contrib distribution 

     Packages [...] where the source code which may be distributed is not
the complete source code required to compile the program (i.e., the
program cannot be compiled using only packages in the main Debian
distribution) [...] may only be placed in the semi-supported contrib
section of the Debian archive, unless they need to be in the non-free
distribution. 



Thanks,

Chris
