Debian adds security support for testingDebian adds security support for testingPosted Sep 9, 2005 20:55 UTC (Fri) by neilm (subscriber, #28422)In reply to: Debian adds security support for testing by peace Parent article: Debian adds security support for testing
I wounder how the availability of these packages will effect Ubuntu. If Debian can really be agile and current it might be nice to see Ubuntu work from within Debian as a great preconfigured desktop option. Basicaly get rid of the *-ubuntu packages and use Debian main line.Unfortunatly, this probably won't happen. Ubuntu freezes Sid when they release, and thus there may be no equivilent package in Debian.
Now Ubuntu has a version which Debian doesn't and won't be able to provide security support for.

And I suspect it's a minority case. And Debian may start to winnow architectures too (not that they're completely shedding them, but poorly-supported architectures will no longer slow down common architectures).

With Ubuntu's success Debian might even consider stretching a little in order to take advantage of the great work and momentum Ubuntu is generating. Consider it like the egcc/gcc split where a venerable well repsected application needed a kick in the pants by renagade upstarts to join the modern age but they all lived happily ever after. You know, "Ubuntu is what it is because of what we all are", and all that :)
Kind Regards
