This is a separate discussion, but it would be good to go through
specific cases of different packages in Debian and Ubuntu and see why
the diff. If there is no good reason then it's a bug. If there is a good
reason then perhaps Debian would be interested of getting the diff.
Again, the whole exercise doesn't fall only in Nokia's responsibility
and the community could help if there is really an interest.

At least now there is a reference. If someone doesn't follow it there is
a measure to file a bug, no matter who is this someone.

About the rest, thanks Guillem for helping out with the packaging policy!
