Would be a team formed by the people that are working with each distro
to deliver a good Sugar experience for their users.

Sugar on Debian would be a product of Debian, and Sugar on Fedora

find useful a space in Sugar Labs to pool information and resources.
Or not, that's for packagers to decide.
