Morally speaking, Debian is simply the most accessible distro today. So it is an example in itself. And it is the only distro where in decisionsal processes, accessibility is considered as a matter (eg choice of desktop environment). Ubuntu stopped specific devs in accessibility, Fedora is not really accessible at install, using a non-universal desktop; Manjaro does not seem to do accessibility, neither arch. It is so right that some devs decided using specialized distros such as Vinux.
So I think Debian does its role in free software.

It's not supposed to modif software. Patching over issues is fine enough, provided that the patches are also sent upstream. But whole features of upstream software are not supposed to be developped within Debian. Samuel
