It isn't an issue of the Debian folks endorsing Oracle, it's the other way
'round. Last I heard, Oracle listed RedHat and SuSe as officially
supported platforms. If Oracle were do decide to develop/publish
instructions on how to install/run Oracle on a Debian distribution, and
provide support for that, they can surely do so without Stallman's
blessing.
