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 thought that this applied to all packages in the main
 distribution anyway. If they depend on non-fre or contrib, the
 packages have to be removed from the main distribution, and this is
 recursively applied. I would think that that also applies to packages
 needed to build the package.

	If we apply this to contrib, why are the packages in contrib
 not in the main distribution?

	I personally would like to see the packages in contrib be DFSG
 compliant (and hence be candidates for the Official CD), but may
 depend on non-free packages (which would explain their presence in
 contrib. (This goes for deendencies for building the packages as weel
 as for running them)
