I am confident that if the dependencies are met then the debian package will work in ubuntu. There are three problems I forsee although they may not be a problem in practice: Depends: python-central (>= 0.6); it appears that ubuntu's version is not as recent. This dependency is added automatically and I'd rather not change it. Depends: python-minimal (>= 2.4.4-6); I don't believe that ubuntu's version is this high yet. I had to add this dependency to ensure that a recent enough version of the debian python infrastructure is installed so python 2.5 packages install correctly. Conflicts: python-gtk-1.2; I don't recall the reason for this conflicts but it will cause problems for ubuntu users who have really old gnome packages installed (gaby is one such program). -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
