There has never been a clear explaination in #477454 as to why the bug
should be considered RC at all, or why, if it is RC, it would require
modification of the upstream tarball to fix.

There have been vague mutterings about the content being illegal in
germany; I've already pointed out in the bug log several other instances
of personal insults included in Debian packages. If the people who think
this is illegal in germany, and that Debian should censor such speech
think this bug is RC, they need to begin a comprensive audit and mass RC
bug filing on all the other packages too. (They might also find certian
such insults on the Debian mailing lists..)

Well, fair enough; I suppose the README.Debian note should not be quite
as explicit as I made it. I'm just not very happy with the gratuitous
(in my view) change to the upstream tarball, so I wanted to be as clear
about it as I could for anyone else wondering why it didn't match the
released tarball. If it were up to me, I wouldn't be making this change
at all, but it seems the alternative is to release lenny without
quodlibet, which is not very satisfactory either.

I've prepared a new version with this change here:

It's a python package, and sponsorship requests for Python packages are
often sent to this list.

For the record, your README.Debian consists of:

   The upstream tarball for quodlibet in Debian does not match the one 
distributed
   by upstream, as a minor change has been made to it. The only difference 
between
   the two should be this diff:
   
   diff -rN -u old-quodlibet.upstream/player.py new-quodlibet.upstream/player.py

If the presense of this buried in an internal source file is so
vile/illegal/unlike other profanity in software in Debian that you have to
*repackage* the upstream tarball to hide it from the tender eyes of our users
(with all the problems that entails), why do you then turn around and add it
back in to the most important file that we expect our users to read?

My mind boggles.


PS: What does quodlibet sponsorship have to do with the debian-python mailing
list?
