Debian is a do-ocracy and every DD governs his or her small country ;) I was talking about who should decide such things (not how specific teams work internally) and described a way to avoid working together on one package if there is no agreement. > IMHO, part of the value of devscripts is that it offers a bunch of > useful maintenance script by default.

There is a similar argument for changing the current state: having generally useful scripts in ubuntu-dev-tools "reduce(s) the possibility that maintainers will find them" since the Ubuntu specific ones and those that assume Ubuntu typical configurations cause a lot of noise.
