Comment:
added ref to Ubuntu PPA.
== Q. What about Ubuntu? ==
- A. Debian Med packages automatically become part of Ubuntu, but this process takes time so the Ubuntu package will often be behind the one in Debian Sid. As with Debian, new packages and non-critical updates are not added to an Ubuntu release after the release freeze (a month or so before the release date).

And packages in the experimental section of Debian may not be acceptable for the Ubuntu main distributions.

+ To help the situation, [[https://launchpad.net/~debian-med/+archive/ppa|Debian Med uses a Personal Package Archive on Ubuntu]]. Everybody can fill that, for all releases of Ubuntu, at any time. But that is not an automatism. You may need to express your demand on the mailing list.
