I believe it's most efficient to apply this bugfix at the highest
level possible. So, I try Debian (the licensor) before trying
individual licensees one at a time. I'd try to fix a memory leak in a
library by fixing the library in preference to trying to work around
it in every program.
There was also some information-gathering in my request and it seems
this question is being lost: Do we have any knowledge about whether
current debian clothes are products of forced child labour?

The project has already taken a position by licensing its trademark to
some traders and not others. Anyone who believes it has no point in
taking such positions should be working to either revoke or
public-license it.
Do we know anything more than http://www.debian.org/trademark about
our licensees? Are there other licensees not listed there?
