Hi, I realize you have strong feelings about this, but please remember
that Ubuntu is a Debian derivative. That means that packaging in Debian
is upstream. Ideally, the packages would be as close as possible to
reduce duplicate work.

Why are you continuing to maintain two different duplicate packages?
Please just use the Debian name conventions and the old source package
can be removed from the Ubuntu repositories.

What do you mean that Debian is refusing to apply patches from upstream?
What are these patches? Are there bugs about them in Debian's bug
tracker, and why doesn't upstream just release a new tarball? Unless you
really mean that upstream prefers a certain packaging layout which is
not something that upstream needs to worry about.

  Binary package hint: cairo-dock-plug-ins

  Hi,

  After syncing cairo-dock-plugin package from debian, we now have two
  time the same source in the archive. Please work with Debian to be
  able to merge the 2 packages, and have it only once.

  Thanks,
