Users who get software through the Debian packages are still 100% users of said software. I guess the matter here is the recurring questions: are Ubuntu users 100% Debian users? Are we happy to provide high quality through derivative distributions, or are we worried (or sad) that they don't use Debian directly? I personally really don't see a problem with having less bugs reported in Debian proper, as long as the bugs are found and eventually fixed in Debian (and further upstream). And I don't care much whether my packages are used under Debian or rebuilt for Ubuntu, as long as they are useful to somebody. As a matter of fact, I consider it bonus if work I do for Debian also benefits users of other distros, and being higher along the stream means whatever we do trickles down to more users. Kind regards, Thibaut. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQdrofAAoJEJOUU0jg3ChA+2MP/3DUG84rhIXSNFn6ZiiYD+1C TgQt78wCvpQzp+Ept1ncuCuMFp8kVJE/D0UhOFhOVWnVJte9WGCWgsac1jSEBeFd QHli9cQAsD9iq3ICuioWWVp2sHvptOmnP4z0Q1myT9RVQm9tmsyTWkPYw2sZsYme ITy+B8VDHagqiFruxW9mj/1gD5+ePf0rILAuX4xHMFbI9vU0WqYRMT0sSLRW7D0k SEHUP1P4P9ceAehr3ibOF3N1k0IIUhwpPGE7quZ9Z6aesDzNKusi2VABBoHWJm41 VbnwTYIXZ2MOC8F1z+ToXTAtfJw+O7hoIFelTokOL25q4Db7adFVl/VVCBQvbZt4 SeRd6a9cRRgO03rrV40KfhRM1mK5Wk6nSLuDUPvJXZ2ZqRyHrbzL+bAcNN8GGSLJ +Z7vdNpV8KHm0CdLdOfQty9M/RaeWO+XT81ZbiI+tUJ3egDuArQiUFNxlv5nSQM7 30JV8fYpfuzxlZdonfwlofjYYe7vqaAyhL4I+uWpXO0WOxHk3bAK31uSlKcGwfQ7 IIM4sEwXiNTjmcnFVQQ7eqPmebEjD4JQ8qx8RS4bBsd7diLuzyedgmwjgSYaQuFo PFWP9z1Uk6uB0/SR8Pf/REEu2H9mrqSNxl1QjZi3LCTKB6m8jxrJhv1KzQe4JTnf EChnJm7LYXyx1vpuEwyk =//DT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
