Right now the Ubuntu doc team focuses on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu 
documentation.  We try as often as possible to link to the upstream 
documentation within the system documentation.  For example in the kubuntu 
system documetnation under Desktop Customization we link to the section in 
Chapter 12 of the KDE book: Customizing the Appearance of your KDE Desktop.  
I know that Rich (nixternal) and I spend a lot of time also working on 
upstream docs to help fill the downstream holes as much as possible.  
Example: Speedcrunch and Keep are both lacking documents and I am currently 
finishing both of them.

Does that make sense on how things go?
