This is the "proactive" method.
And that's the only one that will work in the end. If you want to fix this properly, I suggest you take the task of reviewing those by hand (and not through grep) > >You seem to have just grepped for 'mujer' and have reported all the > >evidences of those fortunes without review. > > Not quite.

Might have skipped some, true... but not these two. You have skipped lots of them. And many which I don't find are truly offensive and I have actually kept those in fortunes and not moved them over to fortunes-es-off. Others are welcome to do a more in depth review and provide the list of those which they do find offensive accompanied with a proper explanation for each and everyone of those. > Previously we had simply deleted "fortunes-camioneros", but this time we > figured that fixing the package fortune-es upstream was better a better > once-and-for-all measure. Yes, next time bring that up here to get those issues solved for everybody and not just for yourselves. That's how free software works :-) > PS Crossposted to the debian-women list and also to the barrapunto-editores > list. Please advise if this is not correct etiquette. I'm not sure if it's correct etiquette, but I'm quite sure it will make a lot of noise. Actually, it would be best if people, instead of feeding the BTS with noise would make an effort provide proper "good quality" quotes for the fortunes-es package. That would make a difference and be a real benefit for end users. Regards Javier
