I don't see how even option 1 would have delayed Lenny. I just see that it
would have forced a few patches to be applied.
But we got option 5 instead. You claim this has delayed Lenny. Please
explain how.

You're writing with the assumption that fixing DFSG violations is fundamentally
incompatible with releasing Lenny soon.
I can see that this could be true for some cases, where critical functionality
is affected, but for most of them (including firmware) I don't see any
correlation.
