It would be far superior to fix the problem with uploading to Debian
rather than working around it by uploading directly to Ubuntu or by
maintaining a separate repository.  Unless there is a *lot* of effort
available to deal with Ubuntu-local packaging, having the packages in
Debian as well generally yields better results.
