True! Ubuntu is not Debian. However since it's based on Debian, and
Debian has such a wealth of good and well organised documentation I tend
to look things up there.

Is there any exhaustive list of differences somewhere?

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

The condition of the free man is that he does not live for the benefit of
another.
