Then I guess the question is, what is Debian?
Does a different and additional package format change the project?
It seems like you're not reading what other people have said--tt has
nothing to do with the packaging format, it has to do with providing a
stable base of software that interoperates. A collection of unrelated
independent modules which must be dynamically built off the latest git
repository may be interesting, but it's not a coherent distribution.
Other people are already trying to do that thing, it isn't clear what
value debian would add. Conversely, we know what the current debian
distribution provides, why throw that out to chase some new shiny thing?
