I noticed the same, maybe we should clarify to not make any confusion in
future? Like if Debian Project issues a statement that will contradict
on that matter with Tor Project statement?

And this is more important thing for us as a community as well as
Project - we (at least I am) shouldn't feel comfortable not having
active (not by his decision) maintainer with so much packages he works
on. We suffer from lack of manpower already (though we are the biggest
project out there by far) and loosing someone like Dmitry (who is, let
me be honest, way more active than I am) should always be something that
will trigger our response (not only when things like this happen but
also other that we already know - lack of motivation and how to get
fresh blood into project).
