I think we also have to think about it from their point of view, to work
out why we keep getting stuck on these points.
For example, maybe their chef and cooking staff are permanent employees,
and they have to pay all the wages no matter what happens (unless all
those employees take annual leave during DebConf)
If their business model is really so rigid and inflexible, time spent
trying to negotiate may just be time wasted, time that could have been
spent finding alternatives.
