 Thanks for raising this question. 
  
 As far as I know currently we can't guarantee such a rapid turnaround 
 across all suites. 
  
 Please understand that point in my bits as a question for us as a 
 project whether we want to set this as a long-term goal. Some in the 
 community consider it essential that Debian is able to react very 
 quickly when faced with credible legal claims or unfixable security 
 issues.

 If we agree that this is something we agree as a project, the next step 
 is to discuss how to make it feasible €€€ for example, whether the 
 proposed split of responsibilities between the Archive Team and the 
 DFSG/licensing team could help, and what kind of processes or 
 infrastructure improvements would be required. 
  
 In the short term, the draft delegation texts need to describe the 
 responsible team, so that at least it is clear who owns the decision in 
 such cases.  The question of how fast Debian can act is then something 
 we should keep working on together. 
  
 Kind regards 
    Andreas.
