Apart from my quality of distribution arguments, yes, that is
a fair assessment. Actually, it was one of your arguments about
renaming programs/packages that started me down this path -- if a
user has a friend running some other distribution, and they both try
program foo -- it works on the other distribution, but not on Debian,
and both sets of packages are installed correctly, I think we shall
not compare favourably. I would hate to get the reputation that
programs on Debian do not necesarily work unless one systematically
installs all supposedly optional packages (run time link failures are
hard to explain as anything but broken programs to the
non-cognoscenti)
