If the diff were zero bytes, Debian and Ubuntu would be identical. I hope
that you can understand my hesitation to accept a definition of success
which means that Ubuntu ceases to exist. :-)
As I've said earlier in this thread, one size does not fit all, and so
derivatives (and the divergence that necessarily comes with them) are a fact
of life. The ideal situation is for the delta to accurately reflect the
differences in the goals of the two projects, not for it to be null.
