For the record, your README.Debian consists of:

   The upstream tarball for quodlibet in Debian does not match the one distributed
   by upstream, as a minor change has been made to it. The only difference between
   the two should be this diff:
   
   diff -rN -u old-quodlibet.upstream/player.py new-quodlibet.upstream/player.py
   --- old-quodlibet.upstream/player.py    2008-06-03 19:45:12.247191545 +0200
   +++ new-quodlibet.upstream/player.py    2008-06-03 19:45:12.311191392 +0200

        if gst.element_make_from_uri(
            gst.URI_SRC,
   -        "file:///Sebastian/Droge/please/choke/on/a/bucket/of/cocks", ""):
   +        "file:///fake/path/for/gst", ""):
            global playlist
            playlist = PlaylistPlayer(pipeline or "gconfaudiosink", librarian)
            return playlist

If the presense of this buried in an internal source file is so
vile/illegal/unlike other profanity in software in Debian that you have to
*repackage* the upstream tarball to hide it from the tender eyes of our users
(with all the problems that entails), why do you then turn around and add it
back in to the most important file that we expect our users to read?

My mind boggles.


PS: What does quodlibet sponsorship have to do with the debian-python mailing
    list?

see shy jo, wondering if perhaps the point is to shield the under-aged
            python interpeter from the profanity, or what
