... the other thing to bear in mind is if Debian do this, all downstreams of Debian (Ubuntu, Mint etc) inherit these changed Debian packages. Redhat is the other main packager and it also has a lot of downstreams.

But it's unclear if, eg, Ubuntu (or IBM), which want to make money, will follow what would be a principled decision by Debian (if that happened) and not just ship the upstream package with all the contentious stuff in.
