Many specialized applications are disappearing by name from Ubuntu nowadays quite simply because Ubuntu is assimilating them into Ubuntu itself. I'm sure UCK has a lot to do with the disappearance of support for systemback. Remmina may be the next casualty of the canonical spaghetti monster. There is still no support for it in Deb 9. Remastersys was great back in the day but now even Pinguy seems to have disappeared. It is interesting to me the flood gate seems to have opened when Deb 9 went stable. New apps appeared in a flood when Deb 8 went stable and old apps seem to be losing support now that Deb 9 is stable. There are major differences between Deb 8 and 9, and developers on a shoestring can have a tough go at it. I had my own mysterious dance with the db change at first. I find myself using Ubuntu more and more every day, something I never did at all three years ago. Linux Lite 2.8 was the first Ubuntu based distro I ever used aside from a brief fling after Suse with Kubuntu 12.04. Basically went from Suse to Debian. Now I've begun using Ubuntu for everything I can. Simpler, usually faster, and much more flexible than Deb stable for a lot of things. Still learning every day even though I'm almost as old as dirt.
