[Trisquel-users] Re : Why were the repos of Trisquel changed from Debian to Ubuntu?

[magicbanana]

I believe the answer is more practical than philosophical: Ubuntu packages  
are more up to date than Debian stable (which is, in facts, released every  
two years, whereas the Ubuntu and Trisquel projects ship new versions every  
six months).

Of course Debian testing is even more up to date but it is less stable.  
Ubuntu packages actually come from Debian testing. They can only be more  
stable since some more packaging work is achieved on Ubuntu's side.
