For someone who has joined Debian three days ago (by your own admission)
this is not something you are in a position to properly evaluate.
The "focus" of the members of the Debian project (Debian Developers
and Maintainers) is something you don't seem to grasp. I suggest you
study the Debian philosophical documents:
http://www.debian.org/social_contract
http://www.debian.org/intro/free
http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution
and the packaging and policy documents:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
