So you propose that Debian should be restricted to work in pure UPG environments. Then there is no need to detect the environment and you can just set a fixed umask. If, however, we contemplate the thought that it might be desirable for Debian to continue to work in other environments, then I think my arguments are valid. And I think I have shown that it is not possible to detect the specifics of that environment. No matter how much magic you put into it. So again, you have to just set a fixed umask, because everything would just be esotericism and not based on any rational reasoning.
