Sorry to tell you, but there is a *LOT* out there that is not Debian
and that needs to run on Debian systems. We should provide a quality
system on which not only our own packages work, but non-packaged
third party software should work just as well. That is what things
like the FHS, LSB and LDPS are all about.
