By playing innocent and claiming that this would be "cancel culture",
you are effectively promoting these views. The problem is within
bs1770gain, not the rest of Debian.

That is by far not enough. The homepage header is still pointing
directly to a page with clear nazi content. And even if you remove
that, the racism/fascist/nazi crap still part of the source code that
we ship.

It's not just "views" of the author. The crap is deeply embedded into
the source code. This thing needs to go.
