Wherever possible, I've been uploading fixes to the Debian packages, so most
of the Ubuntu transition should be good to go (modulo rebuilds) in Debian.
There's of course a long tail of packages that I haven't spent time on.  There
may be a couple that aren't in DPMT or otherwise were only uploaded to Ubuntu,
so when in doubt look there and/or in BTS.  For packages which needed upstream
fixes, I've either opened bugs or grabbed patches in upstream trackers or vcs.
There have been a handful of new upstream releases, and I expect many more now
that Python 3.5 final has been released.

Thanks for moving this forward Scott.

Cheers,
-Barry
