dpkg and friends version numbers in Ubuntu are released with "native
ubuntu" version numbers. So really anyone who is using dpkg in their
distribution is more correctly maintains his/her own native branch
which is similar to debian one.
I don't think debian wants to become universal upstream for e.g. dpkg
and try to please *everyone*
(just picture wishlist bugs against dpkg to nativly handle eggs and jars =0)
ps. sorry if you get this twice......
