Well, one could argue a lot here, depends on point of view I guess. For
me packages are just what they are - upstream applications that are
bundled together to fit the distribution's layout and package
management. On a side note - despite loving Debian that's what I don't
like, their habit of patching too much on their own ignoring upstream.
The installers, bugtrackers (apart from Ubuntu most use something
'normal' like Bugzilla anyway) and the artwork is something that brands
the distribution but in no way concerns any upstream work.
