Well, this seems to be a point where there must be some work left to do: not all patches are being feed back to Debian (or upstream, for that matter). For instance, I installed dapper flight-4 on my old laptop and the translations to Brazilian Portuguese were bad. I tried registering to Launchpad and then translated some strings from Abiword (or was it another program?). I got tired of the web interface and it was late at night. I then mentioned this opportunity of getting involved with Free Software development to a student of mine. He translated a helluva strings and, still, after talking with the responsible people on IRC (to get the work of this student integrated soon), I asked if they were willing to feed it back to Debian or upstream and the response I got wasn't that "human" or as kind as Ubuntu is promoted. :-( Still, having some core Debian developers working for Ubuntu is a good thing for Debian.
