Yeah, but look at it this way: it's pretty unlikely that anyone will
do more than talk about this.  Remember the whole 'debian-bsd' thing?

If anyone actually takes the time to do this, and do it well (i.e.,
make sure that it works with/within the existing debian framework),
then it's probably worth a look, right?
