I didn't mean binaries in the sense of /usr/bin, I meant .rpm 'binary
packages' as opposed to source tarballs. Sorry for mixing lingo. that really
was not clear.
That said, I think my point still applies. Either we ship 'source only'
(with a possible exception for win, and maybe os x), or we ship source as
well as prebuilt. As you seem to have opted for choice two, I personally
would find it natural to give Debian the same shelf space as you allocated
to RH/FC.

The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet unknown.
