Forkbomb??

Hello all,
I just read an article on SecurityFocus about how forkbombs can still
affect modern day distributions.
The article states Debian isn't affected by the forkbomb and since
Ubuntu is Debian based, I'm not worried a bit :-).

But this brings the question to my mind on how the developpers merge
Debian and Ubuntu? 

You can read the article at http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/308
