Ok. Thank you Ralf and Stefano for the pointers and explanations. In
fact, I am more interested in the versions than in the naming scheme,
sorry for not using the correct terms. I'm going to read those
references and keep them at hand.

I am aware of that, trying to follow the list for a few months now[1].
:-) However this is raising another question: I assume that if the
source packages are the same (i.e. same version number) between Ubuntu
and Debian, the derived binary packages will be the same. Is this a
correct assumption?
Yours,
