OTOH, what if you were not yet a user of the package and were searching the packages in debian for a package to meet your needs. Wouldn't you rather know then that every packages listed is well-maintained, and has its bugs repsonded to in a reasonable timeframe? In other words, wouldn't you like to know that debian has a high overall standard of quality? (There's perhaps something to be said for the old use of contrib as a dumping ground for packages that were not of good enough quality to go into the main distribution.) -- see shy jo
