Apologies for parachuting in and hijacking this thread, but I don't think it's
a matter of people not wanting their work to show up in Debian and Ubuntu.  I
think it's a matter of two different enough development policies and
infrastructures.  It's difficult to grasp the details of how to deploy
packages for each distribution, let alone the best way to sync packages
between them.  Even if you do get it, it's time consuming to support both.
The question is: what can be done to make life easier for those who /want/ to
do the right thing?
