I said that having Debian distribute one's software is a privilege. You
said "It's not a privilege". This is wrong; it is indeed a privilege,
and if that's not what you meant, feel free to correct or clarify your
statement.
Upstream is not providing Debian the privilege of packaging it; as a
rule, the software must be able to be packaged by *anyone* (DFSG#1+5+6+8)
to be in Debian at all.
