During the jessie development cycle many changes from UbuntuGIS were incorporated (back) into Debian GIS. Collaboration with UbuntuGIS and OSGeo-Live projects was improved, resulting in new packages and contributors. Where possible an effort will be made to provide backports for new upstream releases of non-library packages.
