Let's assume that starting tomorrow, every patch that is applied to Ubuntu, that is not Ubuntu-specific, and not something too trivial to worry about (such as the python or c++ transitions), is accompnied by a handwritten email to the Debian BTS containing the patch and an explanation. Writing such an email would surely only take a few minutes; how many new such patches do you really create each day? How could this not be feasable? Wouldn't this tend to highlight cases where Ubuntu is making many useful changes to Debian and tend to get the Ubuntu people direct commit access to those packages? Personal communication is how development works in the entire rest of the free software world, I really don't see why Ubuntu is different. -- see shy jo
