We've invited the Kubuntu team to merge their efforts with ours and use the
same packaging vcs. The answer was positive, although the migration is a bit
too far in the future. They sort of agree that they could migrate from
launchpad bzr to git.debian.org, but as they are a larger group they separate
junior and senior developers, requiring a review for each junior commit, for
which they have a workflow and systems in place that won't be directly usable
in git.debian.org. so the idea is to keep in sync most of our work, and see if
we can figure out a way to merge it.

Which translates to some overhead and a larger TODO list than an immediate
help, but sure, once certain threshold in time invested is reached, both Debian
and Ubuntu could benefit from it.

Happy hacking,
