But for some specific minor changes with dependencies, most of the efforts
at ubuntu level is about rebuilding properly and ensuring that most packages
are in good shape at releasing time, which could be not always the case.
Partecipating to this list (pkg-grass-general) would help.
There is a good bounce of packages
which are still neither in debian nor ubuntu currently and having some packaging
efforts about them could be nice for both groups. Someone could also say that
working in debian would anyway propagate results into ubuntu, but I know that people
would prefer using their own environment instead. Question of taste...
