Can I offer my form letter which I use for cases like this ?

 Thank you for your message to the Debian Technical Committee.
 The Committee's purpose is to resolve technical disputes for the
 Debian Project (http://www.debian.org/).

 The Technical Committee is not the right avenue for other enquiries
 about Debian, GNU/Linux, or computing in general.  Unfortunately we
 are not able to reply individually to enquiries which are not
 appropriate for the Committee.  Instead, here are some useful
 references:

 * Suggestions for improvements to Debian GNU/Linux:
   For detailed suggestions, please use our Bug Tracking System, at
   http://www.debian.org/Bugs/.
   For general suggestions and proposals, please use our mailing
   lists - see http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/.

 * Invitations for Debian to co-operate with some other project or
   activity: contact the project leadership, leader@debian.org.

 * Requests to help with installing or using Debian: use our normal
   support channels - see our website, http://www.debian.org/.

 * Requests to help with installing or using other GNU/Linux
   distributions: try starting at http://www.linuxdoc.org/.

 * Requests for help with other problems not related to Debian: use an
   appropriate support channel for your enquiry.  Debian does not
   offer general computing support.

 We apologise for the impersonal nature of this form letter.
 For more information about Debian, see www.debian.org.

It might be best to leave these replied to me (as Chairman), too, to
avoid duplication.

Ian.
