Then Debian will just need to figure out how to reverse the direction of flow. Debian is too slow-moving to be treated as upstream of Ubuntu; it's going to have to figure out how to manage being downstream as well.

As for policy: Debian's policies work very well in the server context, but are going to need work for the desktop. Ubuntu is doing that work, and Debian can learn from it, picking up the best ideas and leaving the rest.

Forking is OK if it's interwoven with re-merging.
