Speaking for myself, I would like to try out the new ubuntu software
without having to build from source and/or without trying in a VM.
So for me they are welcome.

It might impose some small constraints from the beginning (branding should
be vendor-specific for example, much like what's done in debian-installer)
but otherwise should be painless to integrate in Debian: there's no reason
to have opposition on new software, people are free to not use them.

But do you have Debian developers on your team so that you're able to
upload new packages to Debian ?

(Another recent case has been the software center, it could have been
pushed in Debian from the start)

Cheers,
