Before they started using a proprietary, self-developed desktop environment, everything was simple: stick with the upstream, change the theme, done.

When you make such statements, could you provide a clear, concise source/reference? I am not aware that Unity is not free, open source software. For your information the "self-developed desktop environment" model is what also makes Trisquel possible, as it's based on Ubuntu. If you're asking Ubuntu users to eventually switch to Trisquel, it has some value to keep Unity around at least as an option so the migration is easier for such users. [..] Another importants factor to consider is the longevity of upstream projects and their support. If the next Trisquel has packages that go unmaintained/away in 2-3 years, it won't be so LTS anymore.
