So, basically, what you are painfully and awkwardly trying to explain is that you believe that the choices made by Debian developers, for reasons partially expressed publicly but that you do not actually know, are so universal that people who have different needs should feel distressed when they arrive to different choices. The only source of distress should be not finding the program you need packaged by Debian, and thus having to install it from sources or from a third party repository. Regards, -- Nicolas George
