They are not part of the debian security/login infrastructure.
They are intended for kernel developers use but are currently
under utilized. I don't mind a few people applying for access.
But I have no intention of supporting every DD out there.
My expectation is the vast majority of DD's can use the couple
of machines HP has donated and (I think) Lamont has setup for
debian.org.
