No, really, really, what Debian versions and releases do Ubuntu packages come from? I have to know this because all Trisquel packages come from Ubuntu. Basically, all Ubuntu packages are continuously pulled from Debian unstable, regardless of the Debian release version, then Ubuntu-specific modifications are merged in. Oh, wow, that would certainly explain why GNUStep worked so poorly in my version of Trisquel. It actually came from Debian unstable, so it wasn’t even supposed to be working correctly. Yet, Ubuntu indiscriminately merging in Debian unstable, followed by Trisquel cloning Ubuntu, has brought this problem upon me that I have no idea what degree of quality the packages in the Trisquel package repository are of.

Well, anyways, I better get working on that super-meta-distribution system where I can grab packages from all GNU/Linux and *BSD distributions, then store them based only off of their differences, and reproduce the exact original source packages. What about binary packages? That will be a tough one. I’ll try to do some reproducible binary package from source system where I do a compile then a patch apply to mitigate the differences, or I might customize everything completely to try to share unlinked object files across distributions when possible, then link to create the final binaries. Yeah, the point here is, things will be tough. Things will be tough when I have to work with very many different distributions simultaneously.
