IMHO, the border between contributing and employing people who also
work on Debian is not entirely clear.

How do you think Canonical could *better* work with Debian, ignoring
whether they meet up to their promises at the moment or not.

What would you like to see? And before you say: integrate stuff into
Debian directly, not into Ubuntu and then expect others to
backport, consider that we surely don't want everything in Debian
that the Canonical folks stuff into Ubuntu...
