I care for Debian, which implies that I care for users of Debian.

Ubuntu and other derivatives are users of Debian, and I care for them!

I am open to contributions from any and all Debian derivative.  Ideally 
all Debian-derived distributions would work together with us here at 
Alioth.

I am not, however, open to include non-Debian pieces in binary packages 
targeted Debian.  Such pieces belong to different branches in our shared 
git.

If/when that happens, it makes sense to add it back.  Not before.

If you consider it more important than have me do tidying for that 
particular package, then sure - go ahead...
