Hi. My bug #627166 was marker as a duplicate of this one.
But my report was the opposite, in many way:
while it is possible to copy from Ubuntu primary archive to a ppa, for example to try a backport from ubuntu+1 to current version, it is impossible to copy a package from Debian to Ubuntu (but only from Debian to another Debian series).
This ability should be useful in many situation.
I know there are some differences in packages names and dependencies and in some patches too. But most packages are very compatible between these distros.
