Hi,

So the way that the package syncs works from Debian to Ubuntu is that a
package usually moves from Experimental->Unstable->Testing, Ubuntu usually
picks the package up in Unstable and gets placed in Universe (usually).
However that doesnt mean that the package will hit the cloud archive as
well.
