If this is the main reason to include it in Debian I would like to voice my objections too (For what it is worth). Given that the political statement is the reason for having this package I belive it is unnecessary cluttering of the archive and added extra confusion to our users. Our main priorities is Free Software and our users and confusing them for a vauge political statement with no real direct connection to free software is against our Social Contract. Robert, I urge you to retract you ITP of this pacakge unless you can come up with technical arguments for including the package. I know the above is worded rather strong and I would probaly not go any further if you decides to keep you ITP. One package doesn't in itself lead to many problems but I would rather stop it before I should fight a to strong precedence to keep useless political statement out of Debian. -- Peter Makholm | Why does the entertainment industry wants us to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | believe that a society base on full surveillance http://hacking.dk | is bad? | Do they have something to hide?
