[$] Debian grapples with offensive packages, again

Date:
Mon, 04 Aug 2025 14:26:12 +0000

Description:
A pair of packages containing fortune "cookies" that were
deemed offensive have been removed from the upcoming Debian13
("trixie") release. This has, of course, led to a lengthy discussion
and debate about what does, or does not, belong in the
distribution. It may also lead to a general resolution (GR) to decide
whether Debian's code
of conduct (CoC) applies to the contents of packages.
