Can you just confirm: who proposed those conditions? Did this come from somebody who was involved in the decision making (e.g. a committee member or a negotiator)? Or was the offer and the conditions from some third party outside the debconf team? Did you feel the offer was 100% genuine - had the lender/sponsor committed in writing to pay the money if it was needed? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
