(And wrt this hypothetical downstream dependency, there's an open question about, what *should* go into the OS layer?) -

It's nice you feel Debian has good quality control. I feel it suffers, precicely from trying to package the universe. -

It was useful in the 20th century when bandwidth was scarce. Now it's wasted work imho -
