Today I read an interview on Golem and there was a question about Debian's relationship to Ubuntu.

Mark Shuttleworth answer includes the following statement:
"Wir wollen so effizient wie möglich mit Debian zusammenarbeiten und investieren daher auch, beispielsweise indem wir alle an Ubuntu-Paketen durchgeführten Änderungen an den jeweiligen Debian-Maintainer zurückgeben."

Which says that they want to co-work with Debian as efficient as possible and that's why they also invest in Debian for example with sending all the changes on Ubuntu packages back to the Debian-maintainer.

I am sorry, I never really said my opinion about Ubuntu in public since I think this wouldn't be really productive for the problem but that is just a lie in my opinion.
I won't state any further here but I never ever received a patch for the fetchmail package from Ubuntu.
