Last time I checked, the license for the logo didn't allow its use in a
package (which I complained about, so maybe that's not true any more).
I tried to do this myself, and found that the logo was unrecognizable
when shrunk down that small. The lines are too thin, and critical
detail gets lost. RH's logo is actually a lot cleaner and more elegant
(IMO) than Debian's. I'd vote for a new logo if I thought anyone would
listen to me.
