Yes, but mergers don't change anything, just apply some changes, we are
talking about changing things, and if you don't know these answers when
you make a change, then you are not able to do changes to ubuntu
packages.

About the "applies to debian" thing i'm with you, it's hard to know if
you don't have a debian system on hands, but if you know that it applies
also to debian, please write it there.
