Wherever possible, I've been uploading fixes to the Debian packages, so most of the Ubuntu transition should be good to go (modulo rebuilds) in Debian. There's of course a long tail of packages that I haven't spent time on. There may be a couple that aren't in DPMT or otherwise were only uploaded to Ubuntu, so when in doubt look there and/or in BTS. For packages which needed upstream fixes, I've either opened bugs or grabbed patches in upstream trackers or vcs. There have been a handful of new upstream releases, and I expect many more now that Python 3.5 final has been released. Thanks for moving this forward Scott. Cheers, -Barry
