Since it is not official there will be reactions. Noone wants

This is a political statement. It seems a little bit offtopic.

Greeks and Macedonian(Slav) are members of the Debian Community.

Debian users are not the appropriate to solve the problem of naming
a country. We use the official name and we don't mess up with politics..
Why do you suggest using a name that is not accepted by all Debian users
(I don't mean 1 or 2 of course but hundrends) since it is not official?
It is reasonable that it will cause reactions.. Do you want to cause
 reactions? I do not..
