+        Debian GIS is proud that derivatives (like for instance
+        <link linkend="ubuntugis-ppa">UbuntuGIS</link> and
+        <ulink url="http://live.osgeo.org/">OSGeo-Live</ulink>)
+        are profiting from our work inside Debian and we try to establish
+        strong connections to these derivatives.
+        With UbuntuGIS the connection is as strong that a common workflow
+        was created where UbuntuGIS developers are injecting their packaging
+        straight into the Debian GIS version control system.
+        To make sure that there will be no conflicts with the Debian revisions
+        some attention should be payed to the revision numbering.
+        If the derivative is creating a new package (either from scratch or an
+        upgraded version) it should get the version
+        <code><upstreamversion>-0<derivativename><derivativerevision></code>
+        (which is the versioning scheme usually used by Ubuntu).
