The Ubuntu version appears to have diverged in multiple ways AFAICT.

Just installing
It depends on UbuntuDrivers - which has other Ubuntu specific dependencies 
(x-kit).

Building:
dh-translations appears to be Ubuntu specific again.


The debian package installs fine in Ubuntu. I'd be happy to create a new 
"neutral" upstream on Github based on the debian version if @juliank would be 
ok pulling from it for Debian. Eventually Ubuntu could rebase to that to. 

Does that makes sense?

Title:
  Create Upstream Repo

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I started investigating this due to software-properties in Debian
  being listed as under-maintained per https://mako.cc/copyrighteous
  /identifying-underproduced-software

  AFAICT the source of truth for this package is in the current Ubuntu
  packages.  Would it be possible to make a real upstream repo that both
  Debian and Ubuntu can eventually pull from?

  Today, the Debian package has no updates for a while and I get that
  many of the additions are for Livepatch/other ubuntu specific things.
  If it's better for software-properties in Debian to just become it's
  own thing, that's a path too.
