    [$] 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.
