IOW: what's offensive to > you (or me) might be my|your everyday. Policy in this case would document the convention of using -offensive for packages that are split along those lines *by the maintainer*. I agree that we certainly shouldn't attempt to define what is and isn't offensive in Policy and leave that up to the maintainer. But it sounds like we have a package naming convention for this specific type of package split, and the standardization of the naming convention (-offensive instead of -off or -dirty or -nsfw or whatever other thing someone might come up with) is within the traditional grounds of Policy. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
