Package: filters Version: 2.55-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: Asher Gordon <asd...@posteo.net>
Dear Maintainer, The 'kraut' filter contains the salute "Sieg Heil!", which was used by the Nazis and is considered offensive (it's even a crime in Germany). Please remove this and replace it with "Naturlich!", as in the following patch (see also the commit message of the patch for more info):
From a6d6cff523e30fec19488a2efe9e7f638839f2d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Asher Gordon <asd...@posteo.net> Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:16:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] kraut: Remove offensive salute. The "Sieg Heil!" salute was used by the Nazis, and it is even a crime to use this salute in Germany today. Replace this salute with the inoffensive "Naturlich!", literally "Naturally!", used as an emphatic "yes". Also remove braces around the "Naturlich!" print statement, since the braces were left over from when sprintf() was used, and the braces are not consistent with the rest of the file. --- debian/changelog | 6 ++++++ kraut.l | 3 +-- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index d3e0097..bb11d6e 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +filters (2.55-4) unstable; urgency=medium + + * kraut: remove offensive "Sieg Heil!" salute. + + -- Asher Gordon <asd...@posteo.net> Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:16:46 -0400 + filters (2.55-3) unstable; urgency=medium [ Helmut Grohne ] diff --git a/kraut.l b/kraut.l index bc522d4..fc8fae1 100644 --- a/kraut.l +++ b/kraut.l @@ -65,8 +65,7 @@ Th printf("D"); [Gg]ary printf("Gerhardt"); [Jj]on printf("Hansel"); -[a-f]"!" {printf("%s Naturlich!",yytext);} -[p-z]"!" {printf("%s Sieg Heil!",yytext);} +"!" printf("%s Naturlich!", yytext); . printf("%s", yytext); \n printf("\n"); -- 2.30.2
Also, I'm not sure if the "Sieg Heil!" is a violation of Debian policy. If so, please raise the severity appropriately (or just apply my patch ;-) ).
