AFAIK, there's not a lot of collaboration between the two teams. When we get
bug reports, we ask the reporter to try with the ubuntu package and if he can
reproduces it, we add ubuntu to the bug report in Launchpad. This could
certainly be improved.

I didn't notice it, but I'm not the principal maintainer of ffmpeg in
Medibuntu. After talking with mr_pouit, it appears that you're referring to
the dependencies on the *-unstripped-* packages. We didn't use that since
there was a possibility that Ubuntu would use it, but we're open to any
suggestion.

We would be happy to work with ~motumedia, and we've already shared some
patches with debian-multimedia, but there doesn't seem an easy way to get in
touch with you. Do you have an IRC channel and/or a mailing-list? As for pkg-
multimedia, I don't think there's a lot of things we could share.
