I remember, some time ago, there has been some discussion about treating ubuntu as a "pseudo-arch", so that we could do something like: Depends: foo | bar [ubuntu] I also remember this proposal was rejected, or hostaged to say the least, because in this case we should provide "pseudo-arches" for every Debian derivative -- Ubuntu is a big one, but not the only one out there. This is my opinion, and not the official position of the project as a whole. Kindly, David -- . ''`.
