In times before Upstream Version Freeze (UVF) [1], source packages are
automatically imported from Debian, if no Ubuntu changes exist, in every
other case, they have to be merged manually.

[2] describes the current workflow of the MOTU team on merges, but some
investigation shows, that sbcl for example repeatedly FTBFS [3]. Build
Logs are linked from [4].

ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com is certainly suitable for these things.

Soon we will do the full transition to [5], but at the moment 'main'
packages are still reported in [6].
