How is putting pictured naked guys in a package making it any less offensive and sexist? What you're basically saying here, to me, is that it's not that you find cartoons of boobs actually offensive, but that you feel slighted that your particular kink isn't satisfied, and so therefore you're unhappy. And rather than just coming out and stating "I want hunky pecs and a meaty schlong to look at" you want to couch the issue in terms of sexism, offensiveness, degradation of women, etc. If your intention is actually to remove images from main which tend to get an awful lot of prudes annoyed (or rather stop them before they get in), then just say so. Don't try and make compromises of the sort you are making here, because all you are actually doing here is seeking to *increase* the amount of offensive (to some) material in Debian. > We need to discuss this point and find a technical way of solving the > first. Don't look for technical solutions to social problems. This is in *no* *way* a technical problem. Next you'll be asking for a technical solution to the problem of where to go for dinner. - Matt
