While I'm not familiar with any of the people involved, it's very puzzling to me to see some people actively oppose removing such blatant personal insults. Surely changing one string in a package shouldn't be a challenge to Debian maintainers?
- ComputerGuru 7y agoI would have changed it. That said, I get where (presumably) the reluctance to change it comes from. It means diverging from upstream and introducing patches. When upstream changes, your patches fail, the package breaks. It's introducing frailty for non-technical correctness, which is a bit harder to justify for many engineers I know than frailty for technical correctness.
