Re: local mirror - debian+ubuntu - combined savings?

["Nathaniel Mitchell" <nephi.aust@gmail.com>]

The other difference, is Ubuntu and Debian use different keys to sign with, 
and some of the requistists on Ubuntu is different on Debian (only seen 1 or 
2 packages so far).

Admittedly you can use Ubuntu packages in Debian, but I wouldn't recommend 
it as a standard thing to do for, as who knows what may break.
