Debian and the hot babe problem

Parent article: Debian and the hot babe problem

Including hot-babe in Debian will render the distribution unsafe for work environments in many places, will complicate the work of those trying to deploy it in libraries and schools, and will simply offend a certain number of the distribution's users.

Not really, unless (for some unfathomable reason) the package is automatically installed as part of a task or given priority "standard" or higher. Otherwise, it's just another apt-get-able package. Debian isn't KitchenSinkLinux where every damn thing on the DVD gets put on the computer by default.

That said, John, the line about the images not being DFSG is priceless, and completely true-to-our-form. And, one suspects to be included in Ubuntu, the images will have to be replaced with suitably multicultural ones… :-)

There is no chance (according to Policy) that this would be automatically installed, as the proper priority of the package is Optional or maybe even Extra. And there is no chance if this would run automatically as the user logs in - unless the user made it that way. This definitely should be included into debian - maybe after adding gender and apperarance changing themes.
