Those goals, although they are greatly appreciated, don't affect the Debian
release, I mean, they don't affect the software that will be on CD. They
should not be goals for a special Debian release, but they should be goals
of the Debian project. The lintian check should happen by dinstall on ftp
site, and failing packages should be rejected.

This can only happen if a group of volunteers implements a good solution,
based on the ideas Ian posted to debian-policy some time ago.

This has to be made more concrete.
