There's unfortunately about 0% chance that people from Canonical 
collaborate on the packaging with Debian here. About 2 years ago, Mark 
Shuttleworth explained that he doesn't want this to happen (and I 
wouldn't dare to repeat his harsh words...). So obviously, employees are 
following the orders of the big boss, and this doesn't happen.

Also, the server team is using BZR, and doesn't want to switch to 
anything else.

So, just forget about Canonical collaboration here...
