What's wrong with F enthusiasts?

Debian is full of Freedom enthusiasts.  I find it silly to only hack 
together with the limited crowd aiming at _boxing_ Freedom tools.

I find it sensible that Freedombox is only about the relatively limited 
(yet still vastly complex on its own) task of BOXing Freedom tools, 
while the tasks of inventing, refining and packaging Freedom tools are 
done elsewhere - either at Debian teams or somewhere completely 
different.

(no, I have no special agenda of recruiting Debian Developers here!)
