Source: inspircd
Severity: normal

The example inspircd motd (inspircd/docs/conf/motd.txt.example)
contains a reference to "lazy" and "bannana" together,
which is considered racially offensive.

I pointed this out in the upstream issuetracker, but the maintainers
promptly dismissed the issue and then hid it from public view:

https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/issues/1786

While the maintainers have made their position clear,
does Debian consider this sort of language acceptable
in a package distributed by Debian?
