Yes. When a package has been modified in Ubuntu, next time when Debian updates the package a manual update is required in Ubuntu and the package maintainer needs to decide if the Ubuntu changes are still relevant. > > I am currently investigating why certain OCaml packages are failing to > build on Karmic[1]. > > For exemple, for source package "graphviz", the package seems to build > correctly: > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/graphviz/+builds > > However, the package has been built against OCaml compiler 3.10.2 and > not latest 3.11.0: > http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24508327/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.graphviz_2.20.2-3ubuntu2_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz The package was last built in jaunty.

Should I manually request something? If you wish that graphviz should be built against latest ocaml in karmic, please file a bug on launchpad and someone from MOTU team will handle it. Please note that this may happen eventually if we do a merge/sync from Debian in near future. You may want to just wait till DIF (Debian Import Freeze) date for karmic - June 25th.
