I generally believe that it is best for derivatives to keep as close as 
possible to their upstream as possible - from a technical point of view, 
disregarding other opinions about the Ubuntu "fork" specifically.

In this case I see no "collateral damage" with this approach. But really 
I am not following Ubuntu closely so cannot reliably judge the 
implications (as example, when I a few years ago helped repackage the 
MoinMoin wiki engine for Ubuntu I was caught by your choice of switching 
to a newer default Python version).

Good luck with this!
