And this bugs me.  Does Debian produce all of  *their* packages in
house, or do the "steal" them from the original developers and other
distros?  I thought the nice thing about Linux was choosing what
packages you like, from where, and use them as you see fit (within the
terms of the license).  Just because a distro uses packages from
another distro shouldn't be called "stealing" (and it's not), it
should be called "down streaming".  Anyway, isn't imitation the most
sincere form of flattery?  Oh, wait Ubuntu doesn't try to imitate
Debian...
