Not like it matters much in this case.
We have packages in qgis.org/debian/ against the plain versions of the
distributions (debian and **ubuntu**) and in qgis/ubuntugis/ packages against
newer dependencies from - and only from - ubuntugis-unstable.
Looks like it's hard for people to accept that there are also ubuntu packages
in a directory called debian and that probably makes them jump on the other
because it has ubuntu in it's name.</pre>

I was thinking about it last night (and I was up way to late) and it
is a bit confusing for the casual user. They've installed Ubuntu (or
mint/debian/xubuntu/etc) and they may not understand ubuntu is based
off debian. So like you said - they see debian but want to use
Ubuntu. They go to UbuntuGIS and they see the repositories for
UbuntuGIS and the choice is unstable (and no one likes unstable
software) and stable (which doesn't contain the newest software). So
you end up going "Use Unstable because it's stable and current". <br>

Why? That are the packages not based on ubuntugis with the dependencies from
ubuntugis.

Do I have this wrong? I thought I had the repositories for the
install correct based off the directions on qgis.org. Which I could
completely have it wrong. With the above repos I'm getting QGIS
2.16.x and GDAL 2.1.x. <br>
