While you're at it how about also making sure we can have a dietlibc or
uClibc version of Debian? After all, depending on glibc is also not very
good. Oh, and don't forget about udev and X.Org. There is already work
in progress trying to compile Debian with something other than GCC, so
you don't need to worry about that.

Yes this is a joke, but only in part. It's very interesting how suddenly
people are so worried about Debian being tied to one piece of software,
while this has been happening all along.

Kind regards,

I don't think the problem is being tied to software, as much as the software one is being tied to, and the person(s) doing the tying.

Anyway I intentionally did not propose to solve all the world's problems. That comes later. For now it's just a tiny bite-sized project well within the charter, that would at least suggest that adults are still in control.
