[ubuntu-studio-devel] Big thanks to Dennis Braun and Ross Gammon!

[Ross Gammon]

Hi Erich,

No problems. It is easier when you are not starting from zero and there
is already packaging to work from. :-)

This way we only need to upload something in Ubuntu if Debian gets
behind for some reason.

As a note. Debian is in a soft freeze at the moment, so new upstream
releases will probably go into experimental rather than unstable. This
is so that they won't get in the way of a small targeted bug fix for the
bullseye release. But you can always sync from experimental to Ubuntu if
required.

I would like to get StudioControls, Carla and one of the session
managers into Debian too.

Cheers,

Ross
