Hi Daniel,
good point, in my opinion.
"Universal" has been quite efficient in fuelling disagreement on what it means,
on the same level as other keywords such as "choice", etc.
On the other hand, by definition we stand united on what Free means for our project.
So on my side I would welcome putting "freedom" somewhere under the Debian logo.
Have a nice day,
