"This howto offers a simple way of creating DVD images of Debian or Ubuntu http/ftp repositories. Ubuntu doesn't offer DVDs ready to download with its main, universe, multiverse and/or restricted repositories. With the contents of this howto you can do it yourself. Having the Ubuntu or Debian repositories on DVD can be useful for those users who don't have access to the Internet where they have their Ubuntu installed but have access somewhere else to download the repository and build and burn the DVDs."

I'm not accusing *you* of all that stuff (you're reading something inty my post), your post just happened to remind me of it. You can't say that sort of thing isn't floating around
And yeah, collapsing under one's own weight by definition can't really be blamed on anyone else. But I don't think devs jumping ship helps (even though Debian takes blame for that. Ubuntu just gives them somewhere more appealing to go). Anyway, not so much sour grapes as hoping that Ubuntu can take over if it needs to. See previous post.
Interesting idea letting others do the polishing, though of course Debian itself probably wouldn't like it hehe
