    Check!

    Users only needs full control over updates.

    Check!

    A simple leaflet of best practices. Ten pages or so might be enough.

    We can do better than that:
    https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-handbook/

    It's still on 11, but most applies.


    Yours sincerely

    Hi Richard,

    Some of us have already been using Debian "in production" for
    multiple decades. However "in production" means different things to
    different people, since Debian is used in a wide variety of
    contexts.

    If you see areas that need improvement and you have ideas about
    that, you need to submit suggestions as bugs in the Debian bug
    tracker where the maintainers of the package can see them. Your
    suggestions may also be more appropriate for the upstream developers
    not the Debian maintainers (if your issue isn't particular to
    Debian, for example).

    What isn't effective is what you've done here: posted a vague
    comment to a user-level support forum. We don't know what you are
    talking about and even if we did, we don't generally have any more
    ability to make change in the software than you do. This place is
    for assisting people with how to use Debian and the software on it.

    Having said that, your previous messages such as the "rsync is
    broken … oh no it's not, I just didn't understand how to use it" do
    suggest that possibly you might want to first frame your suggestions
    for improvement as specific questions to a support forum along the
    lines of "can software X do this? Am I doing it wrong?" before you
    go down the route of assuming you have encountered an actual
    deficiency.

    Thanks,
    Andy
