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.

There should still be a .dsc file, no?  You are making changes to the
distribution because of the debian/* files you're adding.  It makes
sense to have a .orig.tar.gz and a .diff.gz file.

The only catch is you can't easily edit any binary files.  You have to
write scripts to edit them or uuencode things in order for your
changes to be expressible as a diff.
