To see which popular packages are missing in Debian/main at the
moment, I decided to compare the list of popular pckaages in Ubuntu
with the list of packages in Debian/main. The result was interesting.
There are at the moment 823762 reports colleected in
popcon.ubuntu.com. I decided to use 5000

I think it is up to their Ubuntu maintainers or any Debian people who
use them or want them in Debian to get them into Debian
main/contrib/non-free.

Debian already has aptlinex so apturl isn't needed. Might be a good
idea for the two upstreams of these packages to get them merged.

There are some features that are present in e.g. evince, but are,
arguable though, more 'advanced' implemented in adobe reader (e.g.
better zooming capabilities as alreayd someone said).

Fixing this is on the roadmap[0] for Evince 2.26, but I don't know if
While not in official Debian repos, the ones that aren't in non-free are in
the Debian-multimedia.org repo and quite a few are in backports.org. While a
few are Ubuntu specific packages, that would have little to no value in
Debian.

Hello,
Looking at the list none of it makes sense in Debian, and the query is

This is simply the list of packages installed by default on an Ubuntu
