Anyone can add information (or opinions) to the bug.  I think that if
you (or anyone) think complete removal is appropriate, you should email
the bug and add that.  Alternately, you might prefer to leave it to the
discretion of the maintainer.

Personally, I believe that there is other offensive stuff in Debian and
that it's difficult and arguably inappropriate to try to police it,
because it will depend so much on the opinion of the maintainer of that
package.  However I think that those fortunes should definitely be moved
 into the -off package.

Javier: thanks for chasing this thing (not that I read Spanish
personally, but I know that lots of Debian Women people do).

Helen :)
