- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Any
- HEADLINE: Do changes in upstream when possible
- DESCRIPTION: Whenever possible, please make the changes in upstream, rather than keeping ubuntu specific patches (except for ubuntu specific features).
As notified in the blog[0], if there are changes for the installer, Let the changes be in Debian upstream (if Debian developers agree with, and if the installer won't remove advanced functionalities). The same for GNOME, Linux kernel, and everything else ubuntu is committed to.
Also Let the license terms of ubuntu packages used be acceptable to upstream. Say for example, the ubuntu fonts are not yet in Debian due to licensing issues. For a long time I hoped it will happen, and eventually I dropped ubuntu font and switched to inconsolata. I hope that the ubuntu font set will be relicensed properly (something like GPLv3+ with font exception or whatever that upstream is okay with).
Thanks
