Simon, I do not think you will ever get the blessing from the two 
upstream maintainers of linux-libre, speaking from my experience, when I 
asked off list if I could use the name "freedebian" to publish the 
"home-cooked" kernel binaries, initially only for gcc423, built from 
linux-libre's pristine tarball using Debian's build system. The answer 
was negative, and the following comments were so negative that I do not 
think I should quote it on the list.

I also do not think that you need a blessing. Downstream packages in 
various distros never need any blessing from upstream. And more so if 
upstream is making changes that will make downstream maintainer's life 
difficult.


Lukewarm regards,
