This is the sort of thing I'd really prefer not to put into Policy. Do we feel like we currently have a problem with maintainer judgement in this area that warrants some intervention? The original thread was just an observation about a less-than-ideal naming convention, which is a simple technical fix. Figuring out what is and isn't offensive is much more muddled, and if we don't have a problem, it might not be worth trying to construct a solution to the harder problem. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
