If the author thinks others might be interested in the answer, this is exactly the right place for this type of question. Sure, it's not going to get upvoted to the top of the page, but it's the type of constructive question and answer that belongs near the bottom of a comment thread. Both Debian & Guile are interesting to hackers, and there would be a large overlap between the type of hackers interested in Debian and the type of hackers interested in Guile.
You could make the same argument for Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu and others and I don't think it would be a good idea to have threads for all of those in this discussion.
