I would be very happy to forward patches to Debian (in fact, is the
part I enjoy the most), but I don't think it's applicable here.
these are the major changes we done:
1) change the default feed list, removing debian's and adding ubuntu's feeds
2) using libunity to show unread items, etc, see bug #732848
3) using libmessaging-menu, in a way that brakes libnotify

while maybe you can accept 1) (without replacing), the other two
points are not applicable to debian (at least because there are not
libunity-dev and libmessaging-menu-dev).

I want to assure you I'm doing my best to reduce the delta between
Debian and Ubuntu forwarding patches from the letter to the former.
Sadly, I don't think it's possible here...
