Hello folks submittodebian generally assumes that the patch is already in Ubuntu, it would be nice to make it a bit more proactive by giving a bug number and listing out the patches in LP for that bug and being able to forward that patch to Debian. It will also hugely benefit the ~ubuntu-reviewers team when we forward the patch to Debian.
