  Is there anywhere I can read about their reasoning behind this
judgement?  Holger mentions "it's because the impossibility to
bootstrap etoys." but what exactly does that mean?

  We had a similar discussion that covered the "security" aspect
(http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-June/015568.html and
emails around it).  Can I see anywhere the responses to these from the
Debian ftpmasters?
