  IMO the privilege to be trusted to contribute to Debian, represent it well 
and to adhere to the social contract and support the DFSG since that's what 
you essentially agree to when you sign on.  The trust goes to the fact that 
thousands of users rely on the packages that you upload not containing 
trojans and other code harmful to their systems.
  This is my opinion, and if this attitude ever changes in Debian to 
something contrary, I don't think that I'll stick around long.  But I think 
I can safely say that most of the developers would agree with this statement.

Just my 14 centimes (~=2 cents).

Regards, Nils.
