Why do people who don't even know how packaging works bother to even
participate in the discussion?

Look at how many git binary packages there are some day. For CVS users,
for SVN people, graphical tools etc. Do you think that each of them has a
source package?

No.

You can generate multiple binary packages from the same source package
(trivial example: debug builds etc). But you want to make a point, and
then YOU USE SOME DAMN IDIOTIC AND IGNORANT argument to do so.

Not smart.
