If you're referring to those of us who aren't keen on the .dsc transport format, I think that the point is orthogonal. What we're talking about in this thread is the contents of binary packages. The reasons that there might be for reducing the amount of Debian-specific stuff in binary packages are quite different from the reasons for reducing the amount of Debian-specific stuff used in moving source code around. The basic reason for that is that what we are trying to produce is an operating system composed, roughly, of binary packages; we have produced ways to move source code around only incidentally to that. -- Sean Whitton
