alt Hacker News1. By involving Debian prominently in its stunt, is this drawing fire upon Debian?
2. Are the pile of assertions they're making (which sound like legal arguments and stipulations to me) against Debian's interests?

This doesn't meaningfully increase risk to the Debian project, which is already one of the most prominent Linux projects.

The law is absurd. We should not discuss compliance to absurd laws.
Debian's interests, whether they know it or not, is for the government not to be able to mandate what features must be present in their open source software. They should be happy to have such a vocal advocate involved in this important fight.
