A rule of thumb says, if the software is in Debian, it will land in 
Ubuntu Universe sooner or later.

In most cases it is sufficient to rebuild the package sources on the 
corresponding system. Normally (i.e. if Ubuntu does not decide to 
become imcompatible to Debian by e.g. upgrading libc6 on their own) a 
single package shoulb be installable on either sydstem even without a 
rebuilt.

Join the groups, maintain packages, communicate. ;)
