Of course it can happen... In fact, it does. It just takes a lot of time. The locals call it Debian.

Then why do so many people use Ubuntu?

No, he was right, it SEEMS easier and sexier. I'm not saying it's a bad
product, but it's not especially good or anything. Of course it's hard to be objective about it, but at least I don't feel it is any better than OpenSuse or Mandriva. You'll have a hard time come up with actual *proof* that the *buntus are any better - at anything.

Or better: why does Ubuntu need to re-package the Debian packages? Even debianutils is re-packaged!
I know some packages do not exist in Debian in the first place... or so I was told.

Ubuntu doesn't re-package every Debian packages.
Many packages in Ubuntu are "pristine" Debian packages. Some packages doesn't exist in Debian in the first place but some Debian packages doesn't exist in Ubuntu too.

Have any statistics as to how many 'pristine' debian packages by Ubuntu collections?
Are they more likely to be found in Ubuntu universe versus Ubuntu main or what? Are we talking like 1% of Ubuntu's main collection? Are we talking 10% of Ubuntu's universe? Or are we just talking about a handful of pristine debian packages?

Some reasons for doing this:

* There are also some differences in Ubuntu base system (Upstart several
