Thanks for your summary Matt. I think that it makes sense to reduce
duplication and only have one upstream project. On the other hand, it
seems to me that if we are to link our code to ubuntu packages then it
will only make sense to link each flavour branch to it's source
package. Then the end result will likely be similar to having
individual upstream projects now, with all of the advantages and
disadvantages that brings.

Thanks,
Dean
