Offtopic, just a nitpick: Is there a convention in the Ubuntu eco-system to use .ubuntu as an extension? Otherwise it would be nice to change the name of this file to something like README-ubuntu.md so that GitHub displays it as prettily as other markdown files.

The very unofficial convention is to write README.something. Indeed, it should have been README.Ubuntu.md

  Personally, I like `ubuntu/README.md`, with a mention in the regular `README.md` for the Ubuntu-specific version.

    This is great for GitHub, because when you go into the ubuntu/ subdirectory it shows the README in there just like it would for the repository root.

Someone has sent a pull request to do just that, so it'll probably be fixed soon. Off-topic a bit, but I'm surprised it is on github and not launchpad. Having it on launchpad would stop all this pesky collaboration ;-)

  I've always wondered about who exactly prefers to use Launchpad. I've had to use it for PPAs, and it seems terrible. I feel like the median FOSS developer would see no benefit in hosting a new project on Launchpad vs. Github or anywhere else.

    As I heard from a dev-ops friend whom I hold in very high regard, Launchpad is better for admins, while Github is better for developers. I wish I could recall the reasoning behind the distinction. Personally, I've never been able to wrap my head around Launchpad, but I haven't put any significant effort toward doing so either.

    It seems like if you install a package via a Launchpad PPA, you can be confident it will receive updates along with the rest of your installed packages; if it was from github, you'd have to add a cronjob to pull updates or something else along those lines, which would be more prone to (silently) fail. Though my general experience of PPAs is that they are fairly failure-prone themselves...
