>From the changes above, packages listed below should be forked to fit the dependency (In these packages, we only changed the string in these packages for the moment, such as replace "mate" with "ukui"):
ukui-desktop, ukui-menus, ukui-power-manager, ukui-session-manager, ukui-settings-daemon, ukui-polkit, ukui-media, ukui-utils, ukui-common, libukuikbd, libukuimixer.

Those are exactly the packages I'm most concerned about. It seems pointless to me to fork a package just so you can put your name on it. But it's worse than pointless since your users will have to deal with bugs that have already been fixed unless you quickly manually merge bugfixes from the parent project.

If we can reduce the number of packages you have to maintain from about 20 to about 10, I think that's a big benefit!

>Since those packages can divided into two categories, How about just divide this bug into two bugs?

I believe UbuntuKylin will need sponsorship for these packages. Especially with new source packages, the usual practice is for each package to have a separate bug.
