<p>Debian is a distribution, not a general purpose repository. Many of us do not believe <em>every</em> piece of free software necessarily belongs in Debian. Please do not treat Debian as a platform to advertise your own software, unless there is some <em>real</em> request for it. That said, there is no one who ultimately judges about that. Eventually you may get some feedback on that discussion after filing your WNPP bug (see below) however you are free to interpret that as a suggestion, not as a final vote. After all, you need to find a sponsor believing in the benefit of having your package in Debian. Please have a look at our ${ h.tags.link_to("sponsors page", h.url(controller='sponsor', action='index')) } to learn about personal interests of sponsors.
