Agreed. And in general, I welcome the effort to combine the efforts spent in the two packages. They are both valuable, and IMO both suffer a bit from unintuitive names and partly overlapping tools, while both provide a great help for developers. (And since both operate on .deb packages I see no real value in separating them between Debian and Ubuntu.)
