Regarding Debian specific patches, I'd really rather not have that. If there is an issue that is important for Debian users, it is probably important to all xmonad users. As such, it seems best to lobby for inclusion upstream rather than help only a minority of the xmonad community.
Yeah, I think his argument is that, given failure to lobby for such inclusion, it's within the distro's right to do what's best for its users and introduce a major vulnerability into OpenSSL. ;)
This smells like using a strawman to deflect the discussion. And the take-home I'm getting very clearly is "don't bother packaging xmonad for our environment because it will need custom configuration to work right".
