The failed Open Source Initiative uses a definition, not guidelines, and seems to default to approval (if they can't find a clear fault, it gets approved) rather than debian which uses guidelines and seems to default to "no consensus that this should go in main." There's also a problem in that OSI seems to get an advocate report from a lawyer partial to the licence, but not necessarily any public peer review. So, it's not safe to infer from OSI approval that it's OK for debian, although it can be a hint and source of answers to questions, so linking to an osi-discuss (or whatever the list is called) post can be helpful.
