Call it the Malicious Blacklist User Behavior Modification System. If they don't want to communicate with package maintainers, they have several options for getting their problems resolved: 1) they can obtain an email address at a place that doesn't use the DUL; 2) they can file the bug through a friend who doesn't use the DUL; 3) they can fix the problem themselves and post the fix to debian-devel. There are many options available for blacklist-employing Debian users that require only minimal additional effort on their part. If they are using an ISP that employs the DUL and have no ability to opt out of it, perhaps they should explore using a different ISP. There are lots of them, you know. -- G.
