Debian has no problem about removing tracking code from packages. But
what sort of timeline that will happen in, I don't know.

I've got a soft spot for Chutzpah, but that's really what Muse should

I'm trying to remember the sound editor I used to used before Audacity

from UX so crude that even the first clunky versions of Audacity seemed
like a lot more fun.
