Hm. Myself, i have one small application "out there" for just one customer
(Gtk2, C, GPL3+, although it has more ideological than practical value,
since it is really tailor-made to fit). I actually went all the way to
wrap proper Debian packaging around it. Nowadays it's a charm, because
I can leverage all of the Debian goodness (you want a port to Raspi?
No problem, just cross-build. You want it running on that old Squeeze
box [hey, didn't I tell you to upgrade?] -- cross-build again).

But that only really works out when the customer is nearly all-Debian,
which this one is.

Of course: they will collaborate whenever it's convenient to them
(the "embrace" phase). For example, Zoom does offer Debian packages.
Would I install that? No way! I'd prefer the browser version, and
I'll use a fresh, separate profile, and at the end, I'll soak that
profile with gasoline and put a match to it (well, OK, maybe just
"rm -Rf" might do ;-)

But I'll bitch and moan loudly to my interlocutor. Perhaps I'll
lie and say that I've got just a telephone or something.

Cheers
