This is true, but mostly irrelevant statement. It is equally
true to say that if some people have no use for a piece of software,
that is not reason enough for Debian not to package it. Again True,
and again not really relevant.
The principle we have operated upon, so far, is that if it is
deemed legal to put the software up on an internet server, and if a
Debian developer isinterested enough in the software to package it
up, it was included on the ftp site. So far, that is the criteria
that has been used (not that some person somewhere has or has not a
use for it).
