I think we should stay out of Debian politics. They are looking for the
slightest reason to silence any opposition to the master plan that has
been set in motion so this is no surprise. Unless Norbert P. is living
under a rock, he is aware of Devuan and is free to join us. Or perhaps
he has escaped to the sanity of a deserted island . . .
