I appreciate that you feel you have a lot of knowledge and experience,
and some good practices to share, but:

* This thread was not really the place for sharing best practices.
* As previously noted, this thread was about maintenance within
   Debian, but you are primarily discussing being a downstream.
* You have posted quite a lot, covering a wide set of subtopics,
   and your messages are starting to dominate the thread.
* You're trying to get Debian to change the way it does things but
   this is not really the right way to go about it.

I am sympathetic to many of your points, but can you please reconsider
your approach ?

Many of the things you say here are worth discussing but burying them
in this thread, in a scattered series of messages, is not very likely
to produce useful outcomes.  And some off-thread-topic messages are to
be expected, but it is a problem if the thread gets derailed.

Thanks,
Ian.
