Because you're a Debian Developer and might want to upload a package to

duplicates what you have in your source tree? Or you're collaborating

I'm wrong to criticize the valor of your brave men. It's important to
die for one's country when it means being the subject of a king who
wears a ruffled collar or a pleated one.
