FW: Mail forwarding in return for Debian donation

[Pete van der Spoel <P.vdSpoel@cetis.hvu.nl>]

Hi all,

I first mailed my suggestion to press@debian.org, who redirected me here. My
mail is below, hopefully not everyone is as negative as Joey ;-)

Regards,
Pete

I don't think that Debian considers this a great idea, but anyway, this
should need to be discussed on the debian-project mailing list.
