The thing is not exactly like that though, what really happens is that you
simply rebuild those packages and upload them to universe, without even asking
the debian maintainers, which is exactly the reason for this long thread,
since some object to getting bug reports for the ubuntu builds of their
packages.
I believe that altough in most case there is not much difference there may be
subtle differences between the ubuntu environment and the debian one, which
makes the handlign of bug reports non-evident. Also a pure debian maintainer
will have some trouble checking and testing any possible fix, not having a
ubuntu install done.
