If you have the time go on. But thinking of not seeing you around for a long 
period of time...I think the way of NM is really a long road to go  :)

They do...we had a lot of packages with -0ubuntu* in our merges list, they 
actually hit debian. Problems with those packages are different orig.tar.gz, 
why so ever. 

The other packages like gajim, wine, python-sip4/qt/kde are really special and 
need some other love then Debian can give for Ubuntu. 

Many other packages I merged, they were syncs, I think I can say that 70% of 
the packages are syncs for dapper, and the rest are really merges because of 
Xorg, python etc. 
And this will change (IMHO) with dapper+1 when the modular xorg will hit 
debian.

PS: Rheinhard, if you think this repos is worth it, please do. I don't have 
any problems with svn or svk :)
