maybe we are running too fast.
You asked to integrate the ubuntu patch in the debian package. Good
point, since reducing the delta between debian and ubuntu is always
good.
I pointed out that the actual differences are ubuntu-specific (ubuntu
feeds and unity integration) and from my POV doesn't sound right
integrating them in the debian package, even if they are triggered and
applied only on ubuntu builds.

I'd like to hear a comment from another developer.

I have already access to collab-maint, but I won't never push to a
repository for which the maintainer didn't give me the green light.
