Yes, "important" is a bad word....maybe I had to use "popular"
But support from a distribution is different from support from a vendor. You could even recompile your program under Wheezy and use it as always...
It's very different if you buy a program which per se needs constant updates (maps files) and the vendor stops them...
After all you don't need to pay Debian to obtain the distribution, you could make donations if you want to support their work...while who bought Sygic Maps needed to pay almost 50$ (or even more) to obtain program and maps.
