&gt; But can you really be sure that people that do this stuff as an hobby can deliver this in the quality that you expect and require? Let’s be honest here, probably not.<p>This must be the most short sighted description of Debian developers I have to see, cause 1) most do packaging as part of their paid job 2) apparently millions of people in the world believe that, yes, these people do a fine job at maintaining those packages. Not to mention those who develop the software they package or those who do academic research about software packaging and dependency resolution. But insulting Debian has become commonplace nowadays.
