If you wanted to have direct upload rights to Ubuntu, you could apply to be an Ubuntu Core Developer. Since you are a Debian Developer, I believe the threshold for approval is lower but you need to be familiar with Ubuntu's release schedule and Ubuntu's proposed-migration, and a few other Ubuntu-specific practices. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#CoreDev https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ProposedMigration https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lunar-lobster-release-schedule/27284 Manually merging Ubuntu's tiff package for every Debian upload is not an overwhelming burden. In my opinion, the benefit of not having to do that extra work outweighs the benefit of keeping LERC compression around for i386, which is why I made this request. Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
