If "we" are Debian, then we need someone physical and identifiable in 
charge of each piece of code, but those can act as proxy for others 
keeping anonymous or pseudonymous. Important for Debian is that all code 
is freely _licensed_.

If "we" are the FreedomBox Foundation, then it will very much surprise 
me if they[0] have different agenda than use Debian for all software 
parts of the project.
