Rest assured that max speaks on behalf of the Debian _kernel_ team, not
all of Debian.
With this I do not mean to say that I disagree with max' interpretation
of the DFSG or dislike his hard work on maintaining the kernel - only
that I (and others, I suspect) dislike his way of treating those being
so kind as to help filing bugreports with our system.
