Since we are early in the Jaunty cycle yet, would it be feasible (at least 
where pkg-mono is Maintainer) for the needed changes to be provided to the 
team via mail, svn, etc., uploaded to Debian Experimental, and then Ubuntu 
does a sync from there?

This would minimize the Debian/Ubuntu diff, springload Debian for Squeeze, 
and reduce risk of problems that come up when Ubuntu gets ahead of Debian 
(such as orig.tar.gz with different md5sum that then has to be fake 
sync'ed).
