As long as the "merge" results in ubuntu-quality, I'd agree.  Yes, the
goal seems to be the same, however "quality" has a bit broader meaning
than just "bugs".

My 0.02 [euro]cents, "quality" aims to define how the things can be made
the best, while "bugs" show whether the way of doing it has any
deficiencies (and, yes, testing is one of the possible ways to not only
find discrepancies in the actual software but also to identify what's
missing from "the way" to ensure that the result of the anticipated
quality).

I agree that a "concentrated place" to talk about _quality_ would be
of a better value as people would be able not only to see what's not
working as expected, but also to generalise and suggest how to avoid
that in future.
