I don't find the name offensive. Some spam filters might (the "Scunthorpe problem"). Shall we also ban sexagesimal arithmetic? (OK, you wrote "offending". In this context that presumably means it goes against Debian policy. Which section of the Policy Manual?) > Note that we already renamed the executable name from "sex" to > "sextractor", which is something upstream would also agree. The issue is > to rename sextractor to source-extractor (or similar). If Debian policy requires it, go ahead. Otherwise I'd wait and see what upstream ends up doing. So far upstream seems disinclined to rename the package.
