some have, some dont, really depends if we modify it or not.
 
additionally there are ~2 months where syncing only happens by
cherrypicking patches and version (freezes), from that time on sid will
get newer than ubuntu. the timeframe where many packages are newer in
ubuntu than in debian sid is pretty small ...

the time where ubuntu and debian are safely in sync is the time where
the system is most broken and rarely used by normal users. thats the
time directly after the archive was opened for a new release, but from
that point on the archives already go out of sync because the devs start
working on the packages.
