If that file isn't specified, the money goes to the Debian Project.
If so, I'd like a third option: I don't want donations for a given package at all. The only resource I'm interested in people donating (as a thanks for my work on my packages) is their time, not their money. Money is a very undemocratic resource, and I believe that tipping (which is what I consider small donations based on work done by an individual to a single package is) is denigrating and a blight upon the world. If they want to donate to the project because they're happy with Debian, that's great and something I think we should make easier and more visible. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
