+Debian, Debian, Debian -- What about Ubuntu?
+--------------------------------------------
+
+  NeuroDebian offers backported binary packages for recent Ubuntu releases
+  whenever possible. However, since Ubuntu is a rather thin shell around Debian
+  it is more efficient to spend time packaging for Debian. After the appearance
+  of new packages in Debian, Ubuntu typically synchronizes them quickly and
+  they become available in the *Ubuntu universe* -- a repository of Debian
+  packages rebuilt for a particular Ubuntu release.
