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):

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.

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 ;-) ).
Thanks,
Asher
