I think they're funny, which I think is what was intended by upstream. I enjoy a gratuitous boob-or-handjob mention as much as the next 14 year old. On the other hand I don't think the homophobic user-abuse is funny, but the authors probably do/did (apparently still do given the change from 'fag' to 'soyboy'). Yes, it's pretty-much the definition of puerile humour. No it's not inclusive or welcoming. But on balance I think we should err on the side of live and let live, because this is a very diverse place, we don't agree on much beyond the benefits of free software, and providing useful software in Debian is a good thing for all our downstreams to choose from. So yes, I'd leave it in, whilst encouraging upstream to reduce the laddishness, because that is offputting for quite a lot of people, and is just no longer cool amongst adults. (if it ever was).
