One small remark to bug triagers: If you spot request for packages which
are already requested for (or evel already in) Debian, please locate the
ITP bug on http://debian.org/devel/wnpp and link the malone report to
that bug. 

This has several advantages: 

 - we notice when the package enters Debian and we can subscribe the
   archive team for syncing the source.

 - prospective packagers for ubuntu notice that there is already someone
   on the debian side working on the package. Contacting them might be a
   good idea to avoid work duplication.

 - There might be licence discussion about the package on the debian
   side. Linking those bugs might save time for license research.
