No, I did not say that. Read what said. Some individual
canonical employees, usually those who are also Debian developers, do
contribute back.
The efforts od most of the dedicated Canonical staff
contributing back to Debian is pathetic.
Canonical emplays about 120 people. The community (MOTUs, et al)
range into hundred, perhaps thousands. They help create Ubuntu into
what it is -- it is supposed to be community supported, right? That
community has a piss-poor record of contributing back.
