I am told that Linus was sent the CoC. None of the rest of the
attendees to Debconf was grilled by the organisers to extract a
promise to behave themselves. While it might have been better if the
organisers had been clearer about this with Linus, it is not the
responsibility of the organisers to anticipate violations and
preemptively berate conference participants.
I'm afraid that I don't think a disclaimer really helps.

I would like to wait and see what response (if any) I get to my
complaint, before escalating to such direct action. It's also very
relevant to me that while many people share my views on Linus's
behaviour, it also appears that many do not.
Thanks,
Ian.
