Most packages carry straight over and use the same source package. The
ones to watch out for are the ones ubuntu uses to advertise or preadd
bookmarks like firefox or xchat. Also system services will be different...
so grabbing jackd2 may grab dbus as a dep for example which may try to
install upstart as that is unique to ubuntu. So make sure the deps are
covered with debian packages before installing a ubuntu package. Also, a
lot of ubuntu packages in the main repo are what debian would call
experimental.
