The problem with posting links like this as "Tiny URLs" is that if you
click the link you are "flying blind" - in this case, linking directly to
a debian package that may or may not be "safe".

As I pointed out above, the "Tiny URL " tells people nothing about the
package, and links directly to a package download. The download might be
fine for all I know - but it might just as easily be a trojaned package.

In general, I encourage people to be wary of such links.
