Hmmm. I would really like it if Debian would come with the
russian-roulette package. Because (i) Linux is all about "let them shoot
their own foot (or head) if they want". And (ii) because somebody *will*
try it and lose (read Terry Pratchett? What will wizards do when they
see a butten labeled with 'Reset the Universe. Don't push this
button!'). Yes, I'll gladly be the asshole and deal with the complaints
:-/

(Hmm. How will it end when I'm writing such things right on the first
day of the year???)
