We have an (AFAICT informal) convention that packages with offensive content, or content in questionable taste, should have names ending in -off. This abbreviation is unnecessary, and increases the chances that someone will install such a thing by mistake.
(If cowsay-off had been called cowsay-offensive, #882085 would probably have been discovered rather sooner and in a rather better way.) I would like to suggest that we rename all such packages to "foo-offensive" for buster. (Also, the highest dependency on such a package from a non-"-offensive" package should be Suggests.) AFAICT 3 packages are affected: fortunes (and its translations), cowsay, and purity. Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. If I emailed you from an address @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
