It might be very relevant for many of us that our package works on
*both* Debian and Ubuntu (and other derivative, including those who
derive from Ubuntu, like for example Mint) without too much
modifications. Some of my packages already incorporate some upstart
script for that reason.

I do all of my work in Debian, though whenever possible, I am happy to
see that my development fits the (140+, according to distro watch)
Debian derivatives. And I don't think I am the only one thinking this
way (in fact, I *know* many other DD / DM think this way).

So yes, being friendly for our downstream is very relevant to this
discussion (even though obviously, that isn't the only point).

P.S: Please note that I'm not taking any side above. Just replying to
your point that it isn't relevant, which I think is simply not right.
