I would very much like DEX to continue but since I'm not involved in
Ubuntu and haven't done a review of patches I'm not sure about targets
but here are some thoughts.
The last project being worked on was the "large merges" one, which was
about large diffs except those where the packages are completely
divergent or are not derived from the Debian packages at all.
Once the policy issues have been resolved on Debian's side, upstart
support could be merged.
On a self-interest note I'd like to see the multiarchified
cross-building infrastructure merged, hopefully the Debian GSoC
project for this will be completed. Presumably there will be some
packaging fixes related to that that could be merged from Ubuntu.
I'd also like to see some "team merges"; the addition of members of
Ubuntu teams into their Debian equivalents - for example the Linux
kernel teams, the KDE/Kubuntu teams, Ayatana/pkg-ayatana and so on.
This worked well for the Debian/Ubuntu games team and there is
collaboration between the Debian and Ubuntu teams working on graphics
plumbing (X/mesa/wayland etc) and I would like to see more of it
happening.
