That's sometimes documented in the changelog. I benefited quite a lot from the ubuntu patches for gksu, and I've worked quite nicely with seb128 and mvo on issues like this one and update-manager. Now, I cannot tell if Canonical is claiming more than it is doing, and I do have my concerns about some of their decisions and ways of working; I'd just like to point out that cooperation with an 'external' entity has never been as intense and helpful as it is being with Canonical/Ubuntu. I mostly agree with Gustavo Franco on this issue: we should try to reach them and tell them what our needs and wishes are, and estabilish links where possible.
