I completely agree. This led me to look at #813471 ("network access to the loopback device should be allowed"), and... Well, it seems to set the stage to the issue we are tackling now: #813471 is opened as a reaction against #770016 ("Clarify network access for building packages in main"). I fully agree with Guillem's suggestions, although Pabs has a point in cuffing the build process more strongly. But anyway, #770016 worries me as it seems to deal with main only; however, the precise issue we are discussing was mentioned then as well by Henrique: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770016#48 And it is is not just for main, I don't think contrib is supposed to hit the network during *build*, either. Bill explicitly mentioned he was not targeting contrib on this bug's proposed (and accepted) changes: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770016#58 I have no idea abut contrib.
