No, I keep that in mind. But not being part of Debian is not at odds with
supporting it using the project's resources (SC #5), so I don't see what the
problem is. The only consequence is that you can't refer to the result as
"Debian" because of SC #1. But SC #4 can be more than satisfied with that.
