This is the argumentation I never understand: why adding an option about
derivatives will make people care more about then [1]? which leads
to the question: why we should push people in Debian to care about
derivatives?
And I'm not asking about the typical reply to care about the ecosystem
or free software in general, I think contributing with other people
is a given in free sofware. It's just I find myself quite often told
often (in this case by Debian dashboards and webs) that I must care
about Ubuntu and I find that quite irritating.
And the above questions are truly honest. I sometimes wonder if this
difference of point of views are related to the reason of why
people contribute to Debian.
[1] Specially because after using the web interface a few times, users
tend to ignore the information they don't need to as we most do with ads.

FWIW I'm fine with this bug being closed. I'm interested in the overall
discussion about adding ubuntu information everywhere just because.
