You're going to hit my ban list if you keep up that attitude.
Ubuntu != Debian no matter which utilities it uses. Don't believe me?
Change your repos from the ubuntu ones to the debian ones and try an
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and watch your system die.
The reason people here are helping you is because they are nice people.
They won't keep being so if you have an attitude problem. Perhaps Greg
was a bit out of line, but he's like that. So am I, sometimes.
Go bug the people on the ubuntu mailing list. There are plenty.
