Pardon me? I'm a 'small-time' maintainer with a small set of packages. It's
my way of contributing just a little bit back to the community that produced
the OS that has given me so much pleasure and productivity. I have a job and
and a family outside of Debian, and do not have the time to become involved
in a 'community' nor the programming expertise to be making NMUs.
Are you saying that small contributions to Debian are not appreciated?
