Both Debian and Ubuntu patch linux.cf to heavily modify the LinuxDebian section
-- these are changes that can be moved upstream, and indeed were proposed for
6.8.x -- as a generic patch, and then as a distribution-specific patch (patches
numbered 900 and above should not be merged upstream), we define DebianMainter
to be YES.

So, yes, we use it after a fashion.  But I would definitely prefer that they
weren't there at all.

I would like it to be removed altogether.  It would be a bad idea even if it
wasn't so utterly woefully out of sync with the distributions, which it is.
