The vast majority of Debian patches are upstreamed.  A couple of months ago I 
submitted a lot of patches to get the Debian policy very close to upstream, 
the differences at that time were mostly things that upstream didn't agree 
with.

Since that time there have been more changes and one particularly noteworthy 
thing is that there's been a new release of systemd that needs some changes.  
I plan to have all the patches needed for that submitted upstream soon.

If you run Debian/Testing with the upstream policy there is about 10 minutes 
work needed to get it all going properly.  If you find it more difficult than 
that then let me know and I'll fix it.
