Well, there's two options here:

1) I'm completely delusional and putting way much too weight into it even after discussing with them for quite a while and participating in their meeting remotely (I don't have recording. Wish I did.), or

2) Read the notes from the meeting at UDS (referenced in link), https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/MobileMidKarmicUseMer

EDIT: They do need to spec it up more specifically and such but this is the direction they're going it seems. Do note this is a Ubuntu thing, Canonical isn't involved directly as far as I know - as in noone's getting hired and no money is involved.

What'll happen is that we cooperate with Ubuntu and they like any other Mer contributor will help making Mer better (packaging, maybe UI, etc)

It's a win-win situation, they get packages that are easier to upload to Ubuntu repositories & the Maemo platform updated, and we get more hands and having our packages cleaned up.
