Exactly my point. Why having the information of ubuntu at all? You can just
go to launchpad at watch it there ;)
Good try of a straw man fallacy here.

I can't talk for everybody here. *I* don't like or dislike ubuntu, I just
don't care about ubuntu, I'm not a user or a developer of ubuntu.
I think it's a shame how you try to oversimply things here. When something
is improved in ubuntu, the author there only need to file a bug report
back (be debian or upstream). Maybe we should advertise that more instead
of spamming people with data they don't need/want.
