The longer I use #debian and the more I use other (Berkeley software or Linux™) distributions the more I feel Debian needs to change to live much longer.

E.g. I find it really hard to get information how a package is build/packaged. What patches are included? Are the build flags different to other distributions? Why does Debian use its own Linux™ kernel config and not the defconfig of the corresponding CPU ISA? Why does it not do defconfig + downstream {en,dis}ables?
