I never said Debian does a bad work.
Sometimes debian maintainers do errors (he who works may fail),
sometimes my opinion is that the design choice is not good, sometimes
I even wonder wich kind of mushroom they used for their 'risotto coi
funghi'.
I think that I switched to Debian more than 10 years ago, and I am
sticking with Debian at least for the most recent HW and the HW I use
to work.
(I could consider another distro for my old iMac lamp, since last
stable is unusable at this time due a problem with the frame buffer
handling during boot).

Chances are that these messages are not as widespread as you may
suppose. Remember, you quoted two powerful companies and the
transmission intelligence branch of one of the topmost superpower on
the planet. These guys have enough power to "control the media" or
worse.
Do you think that *all* Italians are this [censored] to vote Mr.
Berlusconi for 20 years without understanding how [bunga bunga] he is?
(Hmmm, those who did not vote Berlusconi voted for a left wing that
spent more energies destroying herself than in doing something
sensible... Ouch, all Italians *are* this [censored] :()

This is a stance good for Windows, Mac OS/X, AIX, Solaris...
Free Software MUST be better, especially free software so concerned
with the society to have a strong social contract.

At this time the issue is theoretical and the danger potential.
But there is an even better approach I took... Improve sudo if
possible. I can code, after all.
