Ubuntu surprises me often with their amount of patching upstream projects. Somehow, they can't wait for projects to publish stable releases. A little digging in the package repositories showed, that 2.5% of lynx packages contain svn, git or cvs in their version number. This means, they were either a stable release that was patched with something from the repo or even a complete snapshot from the repo. Debian, for comparison, has only half as many packages with that criteria.
