I think this is because Squeeze was being prepared for release, so everybody was revolving around that goal. I believe situation has changed, and that most of these packages have been synced by now and that they are at least in experimental. If anything, I learned from this process is that Ubuntu *does* push back the changes. I even made a "deps check" http://paste.debian.net/plain/105221 but please be *aware* this was almost a month ago. For instance now you're able to find compiz-core 0.9.2.1+git20110226.f059fae9-4 in experimental. I'll redo the whole process by the end of this week, will let you know of the results.

As Raphael I don't know what kind of patches those are, but this obviously need to be discussed with each relevant maintainer. We can't decide for them. But duplicating packages would be really bad.

Thank you Raphael for this very thoughtful observation, as it is absolutely true. I kind of paused this whole process at the moment, was even thinking of adding RFH tag to this ITP if that's even possible. Implementation of Unity into Debian requires immense amount of work to be done, and I'm not even sure it can be done by one person. Before I paused this process, huge deal of packages were missing in Debian, even in case they were present in Debian they required patching. Of course, these packages could be repackaged directly from Ubuntu as they are already patched and working nicely in Ubuntu. Before resuming this process I believe we need to figure out which way to go. I assume it's patching current Debian packages. As Raphael already said, I'm doing bunch of other stuff, so help would be highly appreciated. If I could get extra pair of hands and where we would divide duties among ourselves I believe this whole process could be finished relatively fast.
