It shouldn't conflict. The Ubuntu packages have a version of a.b.c-XubuntuY, where a.b.c-X is the Debian version it is based on. The ctpl package I have uploaded has a version 0.3.2-0ubuntu1, which can be superseded by the Debian version at any point in the future. If there is a need to preserve a delta against your package, then we'll just merge it into the new version, yielding something like 0.3.2-1ubuntu1. > [...] >> 4.
