I think such encouragement/assistance is consistent with Debian's
stated goals.
What encouragement are you talking about?
The encouragement resulting from increased demand for a free
alternative.
Are you equating "lack of support" for "assistance"?
No.
Or are you making the mistake of thinking that the software we
distribute
in non-free is the same kinds of stuff as what we can't distribute at
all?
No.
However, I hope you're not advocating that "Debian should only be used
to develop software which will then be distributed through Debian"
is a rule that everyone should live by.
Nearly. The Debian project should only be used to develop software
which could then be distributed as part of the Debian operating
system.
