My take on this discussion is that there's nothing for debian-legal here. This seems clearly within the power Debian grants individual maintainers to either keep the citation notice or to remove it. You as upstream can make your decisions after the Debian maintainer makes theirs. You can do anything from thanking the maintainer (presumably if they do something you agree with), to raising a trademark issue (saying you believe Debian needs to change the name), to reconsidering where you put your time based on what funding you are receiving. I don't think that discussing this issue on debian-legal any more serves any purpose. There isn't a project level consensus that would override a maintainer here. It seems that the maintainer would have sufficient support if they removed the citation requirement. However it also seems unlikely that there would be sufficient support to override a maintainer if they chose to keep the notice. There were also some debconf or wrapper options discussed, and those also seem within the latitude we grant our maintainers. --Sam
