The Debian Oracle is mighty glad you asked that question! It's about
time someone did.

The tale of how the existence of apt-file was suppressed from the Debian
developer community is one of the more sordid and shameful ones in
Debian. It has all the scandalous ingredients of the decline of the
Roman empire.

Unfortunately, it cannot be told. The discussion involved happened on
debian-private, and its participants have said they don't want it
published. Not even the Debian Oracle is mighty enough to survive the
punishment for revealing what happens on -private.

Oops.

You owe the Debian Oracle safe haven and a black anti-helicopter missile
launcher. Now, please.
