'''Q''': I use '''Ubuntu'''. Why do I care about Debian releases?[[BR]]
'''A''': Because Lenny is in the final, "freeze", stage of the cycle, many Debian contributors are holding off new versions of the software they maintain in order to focus on stabilizing and bugfixing Lenny. Since Ubuntu depends on Debian for >90% of its packaging work, that means less new software for Ubuntu until Lenny releases.
