Indeed.

There is a great deal of positive feedback from the Debian community.
This includes offers of experimenting to provide .onions for the
mirrors, adding a grsec kernel and a number of people offering to help
package critical software that was mentioned.

It takes time and effort - if you'd like to help - please join us in
improving Debian!

All the best,
Jacob
