If you choose to leave the Debian project, you should make sure you do the
following steps:
1.Orphan all your packages, as described in Orphaning a package, Section
9.4.
2.Send an email about how you are leaving the project to
debian-private@lists.debian.org.
3.Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by emailing to
keyring-maint@debian.org.
