I certainly know that you do, but you did not reply to my last message 
to you where I gave you my reasons to prefer debconf notes over

prefer NEWS.debian (or anything else) over debconf notes?

Wouldn't this be misuse or abuse? I don't see the gain over a note.

As far as I can see, no native speaker objected to "people", but I have 
no idea why you dislike it...
