<phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> is based on the Debian Linux distribution and uses the same package management system (APT). At the beginning of each <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> development cycle, the packages in <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> are updated to those in the Debian unstable branch. However, because <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> is not the same as Debian, some of the packages need to be modified to work in <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase>. There might also be bug fixes that <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> developers have introduced into the packages. You can determine whether this has taken place by noting the package version. If the package version includes ubuntu in it (an example would be gimp-2.2.9-3ubuntu2), then the <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> developers have made changes, and it is no longer the same as the Debian package. There are more than 1000 such modified packages in the Universe repository.

At the start of each Ubuntu development cycle, a decision is made regarding these Ubuntu versioned packages. Of course if the Debian version hasn't changed since the last <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> release, then nothing needs to be changed. However, if there is a newer version of the package in Debian, then one of two things should happen. If all of the reasons for Ubuntu modifications (bug fixes, dependencies, etc.) are fixed in the new Debian package, then we can just take the Debian package directly. This decision is called a <emphasis>sync</emphasis>. However, if the new Debian version has the same issues that caused the Ubuntu version to be made, then those changes need to be applied to the new Debian version, too. This decision is called <emphasis>merging</emphasis>.
