This series is kind of a show-case that Isar can be used to build
Ubuntu. I personally would not want to do that for anything serious, but
people might find that feature useful.

Adding another distro to the mix could end up being a lot of work. But
it could also help increase quality and might increase the visibitly of
Isar and maybe grow the community. Feel free to express your opinion and
start a distro war.

Note that p2 might be useful even if the series does not get merged.

On the one hand i am not a huge fan and would be strongly against that,
at least if we regard it as officially supported. On the other hand it
might be nice for a demo for people that think that Ubuntu is the same
as Linux.
And there might be a legal aspect, Canonical has a strange additional
license where any derived thing needs the brand names patched out
again. And since ubuntu is spreading its names all over its packages,
that comes close to a full rebuild. But Isar is not providing a
modified version of Ubuntu ... and i am not a lawyer.

I think as long as you do not distribute modified versions you are
fine, so this only becomes an Isar topic if we ever provide images for
download.

Seems like a reasonable extension, though it will increase the full test time a bit.

Did you check if the patches still apply and work?
