Comment 5 for bug 591342

>> MOTU work is to do as small as possible different between Ubuntu and Debian.

No, MOTU's work is to make Ubuntu rock even more. That requires lots of time investment. Reducing the difference between Ubuntu and Debian packages makes it easier to take over changes done by Debian developers, leaving more time for Ubuntu developers to work on other stuff than replicating the same difference over and over again.

However, while it certainly is a best-practice, reducing the diff isn't by itself justify an upload.

>> This is not package 1GB size and it won't take much server resources.

I agree that this sync isn't a big problem, and I won't care at all if someone else approves it, but still, it is pointless. The sync can still be requested once Debian has some useful change (like a bug fix or a new upstream version). Especially in this case, since I'm the Debian Maintainer for the package and I fill sync requests for Ubuntu when that's needed, so there is no risk that this package will be forgotten and remain outdated in Ubuntu.

Anyway, thank you for your work on making Ubuntu better and for caring for Mistelix!
