It's good to clarify some bits. In Ubuntu we have 4 repositories:
* main: the really really 18-months supported stuff (get parts of
it on a CD or all of it on one 2,x Gb DVD)
* restricted: non-free kernel stuff
* universe: community-maintained packages
* multiverse: non-free stuff
That's it.

The fact that we get in NEW packages? We're discussing right now, how to
get them back in Debian or make it easier for Debian maintainers to get
hold of those. That's no real drifting for me. Hm.

I can't give you the full reasoning for an "authority of existence".
Let's keep on trying to get the processes set up to have two big
communities benefiting from each others effort smoothly. :)
Have a nice day,
