I have removed the debian-bashing from the GNU Herds' FAQ, removing it from 
the example list [1].

  http://gnuherds.org/faq#FS_criteria


Maybe we must not list Debian as an example, as we do not list neither 
gNewSense, which is supported by the FSF [2]. I personally agree with you 
Debian has done a lot for free software!

Anyway with the current facts I personally propose the below skills 
classification. Although we must wait the RMS reply:

  "Debian"             Non-Free

  "Debian GNU/Hurd"    Free

  "Debian GNU/Linux"   Non-Free


Additionally, note we will add  "re-classification request"  support directly 
in the resume and offer forms.  So it will very easy users ask for a skill be 
re-classified when they see it is tagged as non-free.


Flames are always needed!  MJ, your flames are always helping the project to 
improve! You were right, we should remove Debian from the example list.
