Comment 10 for bug 1455482

The 2 options are drop or rebase.

Regarding drop, the reason to ask Ubuntu is because Debian just released, and it would break w/ their release contents, which adds more work in updates/maintainence. AFAIK, Ubuntu releases are more independent of each other in the updates sense (please correct me if that's wrong).

Regarding rebase, definitely ideal and no problems expected w/ Debian. Ritesh (maintainer) has been friendly and reasonable w/ patch submission/discussion, and the constraint there is upstream-first, for which a downstream-patch rebase is not a problem, and actually helps w/ the backport work.

I'll follow up w/ Ritesh in a BTS bug, so that may eventually stream down to W.
Thanks.
