How do you come to that conclusion. Others answered.

Please Robin, you know that I have two hats but I tried that decisions
for TL never have been influenced by my Debian hat. I made loads of
changes which do not help Debian at all, and I myself hat to work 
around these problems on the Debian side, but I still consider these
changes important for TL as is.

It is unfair to say that we (TL hat on) are preferring, evangelizing,
following, whatevering Debian.

And I have often enough state my POV regarding the licence issues in 
Debian (to repeat it, although there are the archives: I find it stupid that
things with GFDL, but also other things like documents with commericial
fonts (fontinstallationguide eg) have to be excluded, but I see that
Debian as a big distributor has to follow different rules and I accept them
when I wear my Debian hat).

Ok, I hope that point is closed, and also I hope that you know well how much
we appreciate your work on the Catalogue and CTAN.

Thanks

Norbert
