OK folks, #Debian developer -- and author of non-Debian FLOSS here.
All this dogpiling on volunteer developers that produce a quality distribution is unkind. And wrong.
Just because YOU don't find a use case compelling, doesn't mean NOBODY does.
Because #Debian is #stable in the sense of "remains the same from day to day", this is tremendously useful in a lot of use cases. I'm going to lay some out here. 1/
