Ironically enough, this thread has taken up more slots in my inbox
than emails by Google recruiters this year by a 900% margin.
Hint: write back and say something like "I am flattered, but
absolutely not on the market. Please don't contact me again for at
least 2 years."
That said if I was running a company that deployed a lot of Debian
derived Linux systems, I'd certainly expect my hiring managers to be
talking to Debian Developers, and I don't think we should fault them
for it.
Perhaps when declining their overtures, it might help to point them at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-jobs/ to get them on the right track?
