It was already discussed[0], and there's no consensus on this idea of
"every Ubuntu changeset, a patch in Debian BTS" between DDs. I don't
remember Linspire, Progeny, ... employees doing the same thing so it
makes no sense rant against Canonical only. There's scott's patches
list[1] that sucks IMHO, and utnubu one[2]. AFAIK, some PTS work was
already done too so we (probably) are listing if there's a ubuntu
patch in every Debian package from qa.d.o. After all, do you still
want annoying automatic bug reports?
We've a lot more volunteers than Canonical, if you want to change the
scenario (and i'm not writing to Daniel only) you should join
utnubu[3] and help, but i think that the "patch" argument is over.
FYI, there's a MOTU effort into Ubuntu to package universe stuff back
to Debian too[4].
