I find it convenient and rather helpful to display Ubuntu-specific
data about my packages on UDD and other similar resources (PTS/DDPO),
and I'd rather not see this feature outright removed. I have no
objections with making UDD more configurable and allowing the
maintainer to choose to show/hide sections of it, however.

I think it's somewhat absurd to say that including links to the same
set of source packages on Launchpad and its bug tracker constitutes a
violation of SPI's non-profit status...
