I think you may be underestimating the amount of effort community members that 
are on Kolab Systems' payroll are putting in to get Debian packages in good 
shape.

The facts of the matter is, that Kolab Systems does not have a Debian champion 
on the payroll, while it does have Fedora champions. I felt I needed to say 
that because ironically, to date these Fedora champions are spending more time 
on Debian packaging than they are on Fedora packaging.

I was hoping that the community, including Kolab Systems, would continue to 
collaborate to get Kolab Groupware on Debian, Fedora and their respective 
derivatives, to work equally well and in a manner equally sustainable to its 
users.

Kind regards,
