Package management
The [:PackageDependencyFieldBreaks:dpkg Breaks field] was implemented by Ian Jackson for Ubuntu.
[http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/04/msg00076.html dpkg triggers] were implemented by Ian Jackson for Ubuntu.
- Ubuntu developed a simplified front-end to apt called gnome-app-install (originally written by Ross Burton, but then developed for some years by Michael Vogt of Ubuntu).
Installation
Ubuntu developers have made a number of important contributions to debian-installer:
- debootstrap progress via debconf, and a good deal of what became the first-stage task installer glue
- base-installer kernel selection refactoring and test suite
- much of udev support and devfs path removal
- pcmciautils support
- chunks of debconf maintenance effort such as the progresscancel and escape capabilities
- reserved username checks
- some of rescue mode
- translation handling work in cdebconf that saved about 20MB of run-time memory
In addition, we developed a custom graphical installer, [https://launchpad.net/ubiquity Ubiquity], which uses debian-installer for many of its back-end tasks.
OpenSSH
[http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1576 Host and user key blacklisting support], mitigating the [http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571 OpenSSL RNG vulnerability]
[https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450 ConsoleKit support]
initramfs-tools
initramfs-tools was originally written by Jeff Bailey for Ubuntu, and later became Debian's default initramfs system.
