I outright object its removal. Ubuntu has a lot of users and developers
(and therefore a LARGE test-report-and-fix surface) and tracking bugs on the
Ubuntu derivative packages is something that has real value. Depending on
how important the package it as far as Ubuntu developers are concerned, you
often get a lot of good help to track down and fix bugs that also affect the
Debian package.
The PTS, DDPO and UDD are tools to help and streamline Debian package
maintenance, and the Ubuntu information is really useful for Debian package
maintenance for many packages. Therefore, it should remain IMO.
Its display can be optional (default enabled so that people know it is there
and only those bothered by it -- a minority -- will need to take action to
disable it), though. That's fine.
