This is not always liked by the upstream communities though. For example, the exim communities hates us for integrating exim with debconf, and they don't even think a second whenever a Debian user shows up on their mailing lists and direct them directly to us for user support - even if it's a valid question that the community could easily answer. We even take care to make our config as similiar as possible to upstreams (we even follow changes in the _comments_ of their example config), but to no avail.
