When a Debian Developer uploads a package to sid (not a new package, just a version update to an existing one), how long does it take for that package to be merged into Ubuntu's repositories?
Does it depend on the Ubuntu repository it is destined for (e.g. core/universe)? Does it depend on whether there have been Ubuntu-specific changes in the past?
From what I have read, it seems that there is a cron job on the Ubuntu package servers which regularly pulls packages from Debian, but I haven't been able to find any information about how frequently it runs. (I have also seen that there is a Debian Import Freeze window when this is commented out - how would I know when this is?)
