I am just questioning whether users of this particular > piece of software would particularly care. The same could be asked of many user-facing packages in Debian. Your question, though, makes an incorrect assumption: that “users of this particular piece of software” is a group whose membership is unaffected by having the package in Debian. On the contrary. Take me as a counter-example. I am not a user of this particular piece of software, because I have little interest in judging for myself the hundreds of user-facing applications on my system. If it were in Debian I can then take all the assurance that brings about freedom and maintenance, and I may indeed consider using this particular piece of software where otherwise I would not. So, one important reason to package a work in Debian is to *increase* the set of people who can easily install and use it. -- \ “Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?” “Uh, I think so | `\ Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu.” —_Pinky and The Brain_ | _o__) | Ben Finney
