Hello everyone,

I guess this is quite old but I just read it today when I did a
search for the word "Deity" in my news server (I have a mail to news
gateway).

I have just read the first three messages out of 20 or something so
I don't know what's next but I thought I have to express how I
feel right now.

I _love_ dpkg, dselect, the packaging system, the .deb packages and
the Debian project. That's why I became a developer in the first place.

I don't understand someone would want to change something that
so important to the project as the developers themselves: the Debian
packaging system is what differentiates it from the rest of the Linux
distributions and from other unixes as well. To have another packaging
system, not developed by Debian developers in the first place, would
mean that Debian does not exist anymore, at least for me.

I'll continue reading this thread and I really _hope_ the general
consensus is that dpkg/dselect is Debian.
