My response suggests that 50 or so is inaccurate, if you count
source packages. It is fewer than that. Compared to 10k source
packages, however, even the bloated figure of 50 is "few". BTW, I
count 29 packages.

Feel free to create your own apt sources are where you
specifically override the defaults you do not like. This is the only
recourse for those of us who do not like some aspect of the
distribution, and care enough to take the effort to fork out own
packages (I do my own kernel, uml, emacs. gnus, et. al packages)
