I 2nd Bart Verwilst's statement. Is there some sort of process that needs to happen to get the Ubuntu team to drop unmaintained software in favor the the maintained Debian versions? If anything I'd like to see that process be automated: any package untouched by Ubuntu maintainers after 3 or 4 releases just gets dropped and replaced with the Debian version.
