This seems a little harsh. As near as I can tell (I have no involvement) the DCC folks are the Debian-package-system-using subset of the LCC that Bruce Perens floated here a few months ago, and it's understandable that they would s/Linux/Debian/ without too much thought. While I don't think much of the LCC as proposed (I think promising "golden binaries" to ISVs as a solution to test matrix complexity is a boondoggle), the DCC players are decent folks with a strong history of commitment to Debian-the-project. There's no need to hammer on the trust issues in public; better perhaps to focus scrutiny on the substance of their proposals to "improve" upon the Debian base. Cheers, - Michael (IANADD)
