You can disagree with their approach, but I don't think it's fair to call the DFSG team, which is comprised of unpaid volunteers, "lazy". They have to vet every brand-new package that enters Debian, and their queue has an infamous history of being a bottleneck in the Debian project. Their time is certainly more valuable than the the time of the individuals uploading new packages.

I understand your confusion, but here's the truth of the matter: None of this has to be done. If anyone on the DFSG team does not want to do this work the answer is simple: Just don't do it.

Do you not understand the difference between needs and wants?
