+wot (20151208-3) unstable; urgency=high
+
+  * WOT has been identified as malware or spyware.
+    At least since 2015-04, it passes all complete URLs with an
+    additional user or browser id to their company server.
+    The company sells the data unfiltered and unanonimized to
+    paying customers.
+
+    This package is an empty, transitional package to remove
+    WOT safely from your computer.
+    Make sure, that users don't have WOT installed by other
+    means than as Debian package.
