No, it's not, Joey. There's a difference between "Debian's policy not
allowing it to support" and "has been made to install just fine". Debian, as
a project vs. Debian as the OS. I'm pointing out the difference between "Oh,
you're on your own kid because that's BAD AND EVIL AND WRONG AND YOU'LL BURN
IN HELL!!!" versus the pragmatic approach (one that was much more evidenced in
Debian of years past) of "This'll get'cha going, it works but it's BAD AND
EVIL AND WRONG and you really should convert to something else."
