Why? It's great either way. If improvements to Ubuntu help get people into linux, and they choose to stay on Ubuntu rather than move to Debian, how is that not a win?

A win for who?

My name is not RMS, I do not eat my own toe jam and have a superiority complex that compels me to dictate to others what they should do.

I couldn't care less if someone else uses Linux. I care about Debian being a stable and secure OS for the servers I manage.
