Ok, let me try to provide a more practical use case for you then. At times, Ubuntu needs to avoid certain build-dependencies because they would add an unwanted "universe" binary dependency to a "main" package. In some cases, that is the *only* change Ubuntu makes to the package. I believe it benefits Debian for Ubuntu and Debian packaging to be as shared as much as possible. https://launchpad.net/bugs/1734339 Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
