[Lucas Nussbaum's Blog] Lucas Nussbaum's Blog » Blog Archive » Re: Giving credit where due?: I think it’s an error that Ubuntu doesn’t mention Debian more in release communications, and have raised it internally in an attempt to make sure it’s in there in the future. While Debian is the most directly significant, in fact there probably ought to be a general thank-you note to a bunch of organisations and individuals who’ve contributed directly or indirectly.
