If you think lack of involvement is enough to disregard an organization
and consider it evil, that’s your sole opinion, not mine.

I’d expect it to be much smoother for an organization that uses Debian
tools and works with us to add missing functionality in them if needed,
than for an organization that uses its own tools.

While not high on my priorities, I consider a unified patching system a
worthwhile goal. We use an embryonic derived distribution at work, and
having to deal with dpatch or whatnot, depending on the package, is not
helping.
