Sorry I don't know why either.

Oh maybe I am missing something.
Kibum could answer you but it looks like he is away :(

I didn't ask you excuse. I just explained because you asked.

Agreed.
I also don't like that idea.

I don't like this movement as well. But that's what happened to Tizen 2.0.
I still miss deb + SBS :(

Oh you didn't read my link.
https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=external/bootchart.git;a=blob;f=debian/changelog;h=b7762ace8a6e14819f0a4bebcdab2e09cc6342b2;hb=30267f1d1bd18383ad0fa45d21fa00a2ed23cda9
Read the link again and see the history and date.
The last change happened on 24 Nov 2010. There was no Tizen project in 2010.
They didn't remove debian directory yet and committed whole source
code to Tizen git.

Sorry debian is not used in Tizen 2.0 anymore.
Don't ask me why because I don't like the move either.

I am just helping you understand the history. I didn't decide it :(

Yes there must be a proper answer from the right person.

Thanks.
