I'm sorry you feel this way, however my original complaint against
your development around it still stands: please file ITPs in the
future, and please use multiarch for any new libraries, and please
talk to upstream about packaging things, and please have vested
intrinsic knowledge of a given software before embarking on trivial
packaging work around it. Debian is way past the point where we
rapidly trivially package things to "get it in first". Instead we
really are after meritocracy, and making sure the best people
available take care of the individual parts of our operating system.
I'm sure your patches to cgmanager or any other software in Debian is
highly welcome and would be applied/reviewed/NMUed as appropriate. I
value your contributions to Debian, especially when it's something
extraordinary and new. Redoing readily available debian compatible
packaging from scratch, is - all in vain, and I still don't see how
that gave Debian or yourself any competitive advantage, apart from
ultimately delaying integration of newer core components in Debian.

Back when I was not a DD, I was seeking sponsorship through my teams
and debian-mentors mailing-list / irc channel. At the time, it was
clear that sponsors were setting the standards much higher than what's
required and recommended by policy. To the point of refusing to
sponsor things, until everything was perfect. As a sponsor today, I
try to adhere to the same high standards, but it looks like that may
be slipping in the project. Collectively we should be making sure that
Debian is more like a zen garden, than a kitchen sink.

ps. not sure why leader is added to the CC. If you feel you are not
treated well in Debian Project, you should contact Debain Anti
Harassment team at antiharassment@d.o email alias to discuss and
resolve your concerns.
