Of course, because the page is part of the www.debian.org site. I know it might sound nitpicking and I don't deny that, but I don't see the real need to make a different footer for a single page. Besides, I haven't yet heard any suggestion in how you'd like to see the acknowledgement, or anything that would be possible to turn into some patch suggestion. > > But ... you said it yourself, it's a redirect to a different page, and > > that one isn't hosted by the same organization, or am I wrong?

That's as nitpicking as myself and I guess we won't be able to find a common ground on this. > I think it's pretty offputting to sponsors when they are not credited at > the entry page to a service. I wouldn't call it the entry page to the service, but ... ... but 1&1 is already quite big presented on <http://www.debian.org/partners/>, the canonical page where we list all big partners and sponsors. Personal question: Where you addressed by 1&1 that they consider it belittling them? Why didn't they address us directly? What's the root of this? It's just ... we have the partners page for a reason so that not have to clutter the different pages with various informations and it has worked for the years. So I really would like to know what's actually behind this, are you part of 1&1 yourself, where does this request otherwise origin in, and what's the deal? I'm not objecting to it per se - I just want to get facts straight before changing the established workflow and guidelines.
