Ubuntu develops its own package format and installer

Canonical developers are developing their own package formats and installers to complement, rather than replace, Debian package management tools apt/dpkg. The new package format and installer are used only for newly released packages, that is, Third-party applications running on Ubuntu Phone/tablet, whose main feature is that there is no dependency between applications-

That is, the libraries required by the application are bundled within the package, each program is installed in its own directory, and the entire package format is purely descriptive. Canonical developer Colin Watso insists they will continue to build Ubuntu operating systems using dpkg and apt, synchronizing Debian.
