This is SOP for Canonical. I don't think anybody outside Canonical
really takes them seriously on that "community focus" and "friendly"
stuff (any more than they do for, say, redhat, mandrake, or suse, who
all claim the same stuff and act in more or less the same way). It's
just another vendor running around forking everything to avoid having
to deal with upstream authors.
