I wouldn't normally reply to this sort of thing, but it seems likely
there are a fair number of people reading this who aren't familiar with
this pattern of abuse.  This is almost certainly from a disgruntled
ex-Debian-developer who's been engaged in harassing people in Debian for
some time after having been expelled from that project; the email
headers make it clear that Mark wasn't the one who forwarded it, but
rather is being impersonated.  (Mark is not in the habit of using free
Swiss email hosting sites to send email to Ubuntu mailing lists ...)
Furthermore the quoted email isn't one that the current Debian project
leader in fact sent to the debian-private mailing list; it too is the
result of impersonation.

I'd suggest that the moderators of this list ban the sending address if
they haven't done so already, and that everyone else apply an
appropriate degree of scepticism to an obvious smear campaign.
