But then consider that packages put in by utnubu are directly derived
from the Ubuntu package, so Ubuntu probably does not _want_ these
packages again be sync'ed back. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The reason behind c) is like that: "Ubuntu, when taking a package from
Debian, adds ubuntu1, marking it as a derived package that will be
sync'ed again. As Utnubu does the same thing, just with Ubuntu packages,
we should do the same reasonable versioning by adding utnubu1,
utnubu2..."

Will we (well, Ubuntu) run into problems when there are -1 packages in
Debian which should not replace the -0ubuntu1 package in Ubuntu?
