@glyph@xgranade a lot of my resentment of this attitude comes from the Python analogue of this.
python3 is a fundamentally broken experience for a user who wants to write programs on a Debian system unless they are writing "system programs" explicitly designed to fit Debian's worldview. But all the user frustration ends up on Python's doorstep, and Debian's response is still too close to a scoff
Underappreciated reality that a package named pkg REALLY means "what Debian thinks pkg is"
