Hi Barton
Yes that is the long term plan, the best way to get into ubuntu is to get into debian, they pull stuff from there. Which is why we package everything and add to debian whereever we can.
So we get it into debian for example https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=chrisc@catalyst.net.nz
So they end up here
https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/libbusiness-edifact-interchange-pe...
Which means they end up here
https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial/libbusiness-edifact-interchange-pe...
Now, there are a bunch of rules around copyright licenses etc, which I think we have nearly fixed and a few other things that would stop koha-common going into debian (and thus ubuntu) But the plan is to fix them, when we have time of course. We could maybe make that a push at the hackfest, or kohacon :)

Explainshell.com is a very nifty site that will parse the man pages that
they know about, and then tell you what a given command line does.
For example, given the command line
yaz-marcdump -i marc -o marc -f utf-8 -t marc8 -l 9=20
filenametoconvert.mrc
Explainshell will tell you what the -i, -o, -f, -t and -l options do:

I honestly wasn't expecting it to know about yaz-marcdump.... but since
it does, I tried koha-create... and it doesn't know about that.
Apparently it looks at Ubuntu's man-page repository (
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/) ... so ... we're not there.
I don't know how much of a pain it is to get into, say, the ubuntu
multiverse or ubuntu partner repos. I could see issues with some of our more bleeding edge dependencies... but it would be pretty awesome to just use a straight 'apt install koha' to get koha... and also to be able to use explainshell for koha-utilities.
