By "I don't like the tivoization issue" I understand you mean "I don't
like how the GPL-3 was designed to forbid tivoization". Is that
correct, and if so, why do you think it's a bad thing?

I quite don't understand that.
Debian can't change the license of the software that it distributes,
so I don't see how it would be failing to that respect, and what it
could do to remedy that failure.
Also, I don't see how Debian's goals would or should include helping
companies sell closed software. But again, I might not be
understanding what you're saying.
