I work on the democratic (and socio-anarchic) Debian, and am happy to 
collaborate with derivatives thereof as long as work is rooted in Debian 
- I am not interested in work applied only to any one derivative!

More specifically: Ubuntu has a different view on what hardware is 
relevant to support. Where Debian generally aim at hardware still 
possible to buy (ARMv5 or ARMv6), Ubuntu aim at hardware expected 
popular to buy in the near future (ARMv7).

Ubuntu is a business, working directly with hardware vendors: Interested 
in pushing sales of new hardware.

Debian is a community, working directly with users: Interested in 
extending the lifespan of hardware.
