Forwarding to the ML because I messed up the recipient.

It means that when you access https://pkgmaster.d.o, the clearnet debian repos are used for any unmodified packages, and if you use the onion, the tor repositories are used.

Nice accusation but you haven't provided any technical details and frankly nobody gives a flying fsck about your accusations. Provide technical evidence or be quiet.

How is this relevant? The only one making clearnet connections (if any) would be pkgmaster, and it already has a public IP. This feels like fearmongering.

No, he just said that the debian clearnet repo is used for https, and debian tor repo is used for tor.

Yes, he did, and this is perfectly fine.

Evidence.

Or it's simply evidence that you're talking out of your backend.

amprolla3 has been stable for a while now, IDK what you're talking about.
