+ <para>
+ Debian GIS is proud that derivatives (like for instance
+ <link linkend="ubuntugis-ppa">UbuntuGIS</link> and
+ <ulink url="http://live.osgeo.org/";>OSGeo-Live</ulink>)
+ are profiting from our work inside Debian and we try to establish
+ strong connections to these derivatives.
+ With UbuntuGIS the connection is as strong that a common workflow
+ was created where UbuntuGIS developers are injecting their packaging
+ straight into the Debian GIS version control system.
+ To make sure that there will be no conflicts with the Debian revisions
+ some attention should be payed to the revision numbering.
+ If the derivative is creating a new package (either from scratch or an
+ upgraded version) it should get the version
+
<code><upstreamversion>-0<derivativename><derivativerevision></code>
+ (which is the versioning scheme usually used by Ubuntu).
