That's absolutely true, and that's true for me as for anyone else.
One thing is my private life, another thing is my official position.
Note that I don't think that being a debian developer or integrate
with debian (be it through debian-multimedia, directly, by mind
reading or anything else) *must* cause problems. Having worked in
other projects with different partners and being human nature what it
is, I just want to double-check whether it *would* cause problems to
avoid having to discuss the issue later when a deadline is approaching.

Or an automated builder which builds a package against all available
versions of a certain package, in order to automate the process of
knowing that's the minimum version of a build-depends.

I will talk about this issue with our internal team, be assured of
that.
