I'm against being forced to have some shit installed on my computer that

We will surely have more people power if we start lowering quality and
blending with other distros.

Since when does PLD care about your job (or mine)? Saying that your
personal needs should come before general distros needs is extremely
arrogant IMO.

So install your python debuginfo equivalent and stop bitching. Why
should everyone be forced to have your crap, when they're just fine with
already compiled bytecode?

Yes, yes, very interesting. I will start packaging all the sources of
C libraries into main packages then, just so I can check if the code
really, *really*, *REALLY* does what the documentation and/or man pages
say. That's my favourite pastime activity, you know. I do it for the
kicks.
