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.

It is much that way logically, yes.  I just want to make it "policy".

Unfortunately, dselect does not work this way.  It needs to know the location
from a common directory.

Is it?  When I followed the discussion, the consensus seemed to be going
the other way.  I'll look into it.
