Lei en Linux Magazine una entrevista al nuevo líder de Debian aquí en la cual el comentario que más me llamo la atención fue este:

"To Canonical, and to Ubuntu's volunteers, I say, "thank you for helping keep Debian great!" From them, as from any Debian derivative, I ask that they work as our partners. Be an advocate for your ideas -- please don't simply throw them over a wall and expect Debian to treat them as Mosaic tablets. Each organization must start from the premise that the other team consists of fundamentally ration people -- and rational people tend to eschew appeals to authority, preferring logical premises instead.

I reiterate that this is a relatively minor problem. For the most part, I see high levels of cooperation, much friendliness and mutual respect, and good code flowing both ways. I think there are few challenges posed by Ubuntu that Debian can't meet a with a Sarge release and a refactored release process".

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con el Sr. Branden Robinson.
Y aunque ubuntu!=debian definitivamente se parece mucho .

P.D. Como bien me lo hizo notar damog, el Sr. Robinson será líder del proyecto Debian a partir del día 17 de abril del 2005.
