Have Sugar working on Ubuntu would be great, but would be mainly: * Solve dependencies in ubuntu (update/fix packages) * Make Sugar work with other dependencies when is not possible. In the first case, upstream is Ubuntu, in the second case, upstream is Sugarlabs. In both cases, working with upstream is the best solution in the long run, while I understand for Dextrose is useful have some "exclusive" features, I hope you avoid the shortcut and plan thinking in the future.
