No, I'm not saying Debian (specifically) is "the" upstream. It is upstream for some stuff (and in turn Fedora is Debian's upstream for others). Fixes are passed around among distributions, are even upstreamed agressively by some. Sometimes the upstream developers are the packagers for a distribution, there are cases of people packaging for several distributions.

That was what I meant. Sorry if it didn't come out clearly.
