Very good. But to keep system in "coherent" state You should not only
build barrier on entry, but also remove packages that break such
coherence. And this should be not only orphaned packages. I am using
Debian for more then 10 years and know, it is big enough to include lot
of garbage. So I don't understand, why do You think my package is worse of
those garbage and how it break "coherence".

What You mean? How to do this? And were this "track record" will be
seen? It is already available as Debian packages on sourceforge. And
what further? "numerous Debian users" will seek it there? It sound like
demagogy.

Hey, what do You talking about? I don't sell You elephant or space
shuttle. It is only tiny shell script as simple as toy.
This way You can kill any desire to join Debian. I begin understand
something. I remember, few Years ago one Japanese employer refuse accept
me for only one reason, because I like Debian too much.
