It still uses a primarily GNU userland - coreutils is there, just like almost every other Debian package. There was some debate over the precise name, when it first came up; however, as far as we can tell, the request by RMS that Debian agreed to involved the userland tools, not just the libc. Since we still have that userland as the primary choice, and only a select few netbsd tools (most of those only for building NetBSD core things that depend on their behavior), it seemed more accurate to leave the GNU in the name. -- Joel Baker <fenton@debian.org>
