Does it come with unit tests?  They might be useful to figure out what
it would take to break it properly this time around.

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by
dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of
industry and commerce, which came to prominence in early 20th-century
Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War
I before it spread to other European countries.


 - why is this package useful/relevant?


I believe this is the development trend most of the world is currently
aiming for, and that, like with other recent questionable development
practices, Debian should at least acknowledge its existance, but not
embrace it.


 - is it a dependency for another package?


No. Historically, once fascism has been launched, there has been little
space for anything else.


 - do you use it?


I do all I can to avoid it.


I see what you did there, Enrico.

Good luck with your effort. I do admit that I am a bit skeptical since the
authors usually fail to provide any sensible explanation to their commands,
notwithstanding the claims that everything be in proper order. Not to
mention no single contributor takes responsibility for the issues that are
introduced again and again...

Dear Enrico,

But are you not forgetting that "but we are the Universal Operating
