I'm sorry for what I have to say, but I really have to.
I don't like at all to see "provided by credativ." Even though we,
internally, know that you've worked on this, and even that you've been
paid for that work, and moreover, we are probably all very happy that
the credativ-microsoft relation is doing well and is productive, I still
have a problem with this.
Why must Debian users on Azure see the word "credativ"? To me, it's as
if I uploaded the OpenStack image to cdimage.debian.org, with filename
"openstack-debian-image-provided-by-zigo.qcow2". This feels completely
inappropriate.
Can this be removed?

I very much thanks you for adding debian-publicity@ in the loop. IMO,
that's not something that we should just decide among just ourselves.
The same way, I'd love to have marketing / publicity people involved in
writing the Debian description over here:
https://www.openstack.org/marketplace/distros/distribution/debian/debian
I surely did a poor job in promoting Debian, and there's a lot of room
for improvements.
Cheers,
