Debian is mostly a collection of many packages that are packed in the repo. Such changes are normally done upstream. > Is there anything planned to get "master/slave" terminology out of > network bonding/LACP in Debian (or Linux kernel or whoever decides > this terminology)?

There is almost no technical benefit and the amount of people who operate Ethernet bonds is small, so the probability that somebody feels disturbed by those terms here is also small. Most people don't care about master/slave either, they simply use that and don't let the wokes spoil the party. If you like to change that, feel free to create a fork of the upstream projects and use the terms you prefer. I don't think that spending time on that is a valuable thing, there are more important tasks like testing or adding functionality. The only package I am aware of that changed some terms is sendmail. They decided to use blocklist_recipients instead of backlist_recipients, but blacklist still works.
