> Note that they use version numbers that clash with versions of the same package in Debian
So does Ubuntu for binary-only rebuild ?

China Awards Six-Figure Desktop Linux Rollout (Yahoo.com) Posted Oct 10, 2005 16:48 UTC (Mon) by cjwatson (subscriber, #7322) [Link] That's not remotely as big a problem as packages with the same version number but completely different source and a completely different feature set. In general Ubuntu binary packages with the same version number as Debian binary packages will provide the same functionality; if they don't, I'd consider it a bug.
I realise this is something that you personally dislike, but I don't think that it's a problem for packages to be rebuilt, and I think the costs of going round bumping all their version numbers would outweigh the benefits.
