Behaviour evidence: debian-private cult keyword analysis


13:00 Wed, 04 Feb 2026

Since the launch of the crowdfunding campaign, various people asked about the real value of debian-private.

As it is crowdfunding, I can't release the archive until the milestone is reached. People simply have to decide for themselves whether it is worthwhile contributing twenty dollars or fifty euros for a good cause.

Out of 70,000 debian-private messages, I'm sure most people will see at least one message that makes their contribution worthwhile.

Nonetheless, to warm up the discussions, I did some frequency analysis on various keywords that appear in the messages. Here it is:

Keyword Count
Jesus 196
Devil 88
Hitler 74
Nazi 337
Trademark 1091
RMS 4050
Stallman 430
Conspiracy 188
Snowden 192
Obama 39
Trump 282
Linus 864
Hacking 296
Diversity 126
Google 1007
Gmail 1052
Googlemail 18
IBM 663
Microsoft 1161
Military 177
Langley 4
GCHQ 9
MI6 13
Backdoor 78
Suicide 36
Cult 2591
Sex 582
Porn 103
STD 580
Virgin 142
Rumour 289
Rumor 181
Abuse 1043
Productivity 70
Exploitation 81
Slave 131
Epstein ???

Why does MI6 get mentioned more frequently than Langley or GCHQ? Maybe it is the cult of James Bond.

In the 2006 edition of Casino Royale, Le Chiffre, the villain, is an Albanian.

Many of the GNOME & Debian scandals in recent years revolve around the funds paid to Albanian women and the Albanian female whistleblowers.
