Source: bs1770gain
Version: 0.5.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed the bs1770gain software package has white supremacist political
statements on the project website, which were added to the website in January
2017, after the release of version 0.4.12 of the software.

* http://bs1770gain.sourceforge.net/#political

Some of these statements have been added to to the source code in version 0.5.1
and are displayed with the usage information (see line 62 of bs1770gain.c).

I don't think Debian should distribute software containing these statements.
Perhaps it could be removed with a patch or by rolling back to 0.4.12.

Regards,
Steve Peters

This issue was addressed in version 0.5.1-3, but I managed to place the
wrong 'closes' statement in the changelog.
