This is something which doesn't look like going to change any time

When you make more formal they tend not to talk, but on other hand when
you host something in colleges faculty expects it to be more formal,
This is something I faced when I organized miniDebconf back in 2011.

Yes it should be debian centric, because we talked with DPL told him

miniDebconf or make it more and more Debian specific.
