No. I would want it to be the same as with other languages - the feed
owner is responsible to provide a feed that is clean of this.

I think that the flattr stuff is at best annoying, at worst i cant even
imagine how bad. Especially with the idioticy of many who link to flattr
that tell flattr anything about the people browsing the web - by linking
the image from flattr servers. Stupido extremo.

Its on a debian resource, so the DMUP can hold up. Dont make money with
Debian resources. Obviously with flattr you make.
There is a very big grey area though. What about someone writing a book
about Debian? Someone doing Debian for paid work and blogging about it?
They get money from it -> not on planet?
No.
I think it depends on the amount of it. A one time "hey, i wrote this
book" / "hey, im on flattr, in case you care..." and such should be ok.
Regularly having this at every post -> not.

While Debian is certainly about beer, and in some cases may even be
about free beer, Debian is mainly about free speech.
