If I would be on the receiving end of this – maintaining as many packages as Daniel maintains (or – sadly – maintained) – I would probably feel like crap. Cause I would probably receive it like this: Someone devalues my maintainer work that I am so passionate about. I appreciate Daniel´s work and use a lot of his packages on my Debian systems. In the same way some could devalue my work on fsmark or fio as trivial packaging work. Yet… I always thought that every contribution to the Debian project is valuable and welcome.
