Quack,

Just to clarify things on my side.

I made my opinion clear as to the needless boobs reference I believe harmless. So far I heard no wish to rename from upstream, which would be the simplest solution.

As for insults, they were removed upstream, unstable was patched (not all fixes were released yet), and we're waiting for the release team to allow fixes of older versions.

As for renaming, in general I believe this is a total loss of time and energy: either a package is fit to be in Debian or it is not (and in this case rejected from NEW or later RM-ed). I do not believe hiding things are making the world better, it is still the same upstream and in other distributions. If we do that upstream has no incentive to change. My opinion on the real harm of this specific package being as it is, I do not intend to ask for RM myself.

I value the opinion of the anti-harassment team but I believe this is outside their mission. At the moment we do not have any team in charge of validating the non-technical aspects of the packages, and ftpmasters do not seem eager to play this role, so the anti-harassment team is probably the best suited for the job. Maybe this could be a topic for our DPL to setup/extend a formal delegation.
