If you ask me personally what things in Linux and/or Debian are most
needed ? Those are two things:
- I/O performance. Linux just doesn't have as good an I/O performance as
the BSD family.
and
- Pro active security sourcecode reading/fixing, like what the OpenBSD
people do.
As you can see, only one is security related :/ I know it may sound a bit
boring and I know Debian is probably the best Linux distribution in that
field (well, they fix very fast anyway ;), but it is even more important
then adding new things if you ask me.
This is just my personal opinion.

But ofcourse I have no problem with anyone adding new and great features.
