Any work improving Blends is directly improving Debian too. Work improving a derived distro _might_ become beneficial to Debian too. Perhaps. If someone does the extra work of bridging the gap. Therefore I find it bad to promote derivatives - "unpure blends". >For instance, if Google were to distribute a signed G1 firmware with a >real Debian distribution... how would that be handled? Google would engage directly with Debian to make a Debian Pure blend for their needs. And then either sign themselves or - when we get blends integrated into the official Debian release routines, complete with blend-specific distribution media - make the G1 devices trust images signed by Debian. I suspect, however, that G1 devices would need non-free stuff, which means they cannot _not_ use a "real Debian distribution" but need some derivative. >I've never had an occasion to read the Debian Pure Blend docs. >To your point about not wasting lots of keystrokes...
