Since Debian is (mostly) upstream for Ubuntu and we already implicitly trust code uploaded by DDs and DMs, Debian is a special case. If some other distro with an external upstream were to start using Launchpad, I think it'd be reasonable for them to want something similar. >That doesn't mean that the Launchpad developers won't implement it; perhaps >the bug Scott filed will bear fruit.
