[$] Debian's "secret" sauce While Debian's "sauce" is not actually all that secret, it is not particularly well-known either, Samuel Henrique said at the start of his https://debconf24.debconf.org/ talk. There is a lot of software-engineering effort that has been put in place by the distribution in order to create and maintain its releases, but "loads of people are not aware" of it. That may be due to the fact that all of that is not really documented anywhere in a central location that he can just point someone to. Recognizing that is what led him to give the talk; hopefully it will be a "first step toward" helping solve the problem. https://lwn.net/Articles/990177/
