What? Zero-policy debs? Fie! ;)
As long as distributions based on Debian see the light and say "right, we'll
include the appropriate "vanilla" Debian lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and
add our own servers to it for our custom packages" then everything will work
A-OK.
One of the best things about Debian is the fresh air of policies. "Make it
so." They're not cathedral policies either. Watching the mess of Mandrake
RPMs, SuSe RPMs, Caldera RPMs, RedHat... You get my point. What a waste of
time!
Look at it this way - distribution makers should see Debian and the way it
operates similarly to the kernel. It is *not* a commercial/cost OR community
benefit to fork the process, nor the result. Work with it, and the benefits
are all yours.
