The number of packages is misleading. Debian often splits the same
software into multiple packages (for development, libraries, commands,
documentation, for example).

I disagree. From what I have read on various mailing lists (including
outside of NetBSD), Greg is very knowledgable and has a lot of Unix (and
NetBSD) administration experience. As with any community, members
communicate in different ways.
