While Debian’s “sauce” is not actually all that secret, it is not particularly
well-known either, Samuel Henrique said at the start of his DebConf24 talk. There is a lot
of software-engineering effort that has been put in place by the
distribution in order to create and maintain its releases, but “loads of
people are not aware” of it. That may be due to the fact that all of
that is
not really documented anywhere in a central location that he can just point
someone to. Recognizing that is what led him to give the talk;
hopefully it will be a “first step toward” helping solve the problem.
