I'll talk down to you, because you are making it repeatedly clear
that you _haven't_ read the documentation.

Debian has a certain set of customs that new developers need to
get used to before they fit in.  Some learn quickly, others do
not.  Some new developers seem to have the attitude "I'm going

group where that attitude fits in.
