From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I highly recommend reading the Github thread as this is not at all an accurate representation. These features you're talking about are off by default. Removing them from the existing package is just breaking existing users. There's already a report from a user who can't access their passwords because yubikey support was suddenly removed. You don't do that to users just because you suddenly develop an opinion as a package maintainer that you feel is important. There was no dialogue, no consideration and a very rude, dismissive attitude of Julian.

Yeah, well, this is Sid. It's called unstable for a reason. You have to read the changelogs or bad things will happen.
By the time it lands in stable it will most likely have a debconf dialog warning users and letting them transition smoothly to the version they want.
