Regardless, you have three options: 1) Convince the maintainer who filed the ITP not to package it; 2) Convince the ftp-masters not to accept it into the archive; 3) Propose a GR to reject it. None of these three is really a debian-devel question. An entirely separate option is to propose a policy to provide for some person or persons to be empowered to reject packages on the basis of their content. If you want to do that, do it, but I don't think your threat that somehow whatever you propose will win the necessary constitutional majority is worth anyone losing sleep over. Thomas
