Comment 4 for bug 848154

I'm Ubuntu user and I understand that it is desktop distribution. As I used both "old school" Debian and Ubuntu, I know that having "only" Debian on RaspberryPi is actually not so big difference, apt-get is here for both and Debian repo is not so bad (Ubuntu Unity sucks and I'll not miss it). I could miss some Ubuntu ppa, but almost any more experienced user or user with need for more than editing files sooner or later got to use "configure, make, make install" and git/hg/svn.

But rec9140 has a point, what can you say against: "Having a device like the Raspberry Pi seems to fit with everything that Canonical/Ubuntu is trying to achieve"?

That could be reason enough to make armel packages v6 compatible, and to invest stuff needed for that. I'm not the person who will answer to that question, user ogra who closed this bug is not that person also, as that is strategic decision.
