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 is a PROPOSED STANDARD of the IEEE for software packages.  To my
knowledge it is already implemented in Unifix-Linux (Those who worked
on the ANSI/POSIX certification of Linux).

Maybe we should have a look at it?  The releveant standard documents are
(formerly know as POSIX.7):

	P1387.1		A framework for system administration
	P1387.2		Software management
	P1387.3		User management
	P1387.4		Printer management

Maybe one could develop dpkg to follow the proposal?  I don't know, but
it would do us no good to ignore such a thing as an evolving standard.
