Packages that are uploaded to Debian will automatically be synchronized.
If a package needs an Ubuntu specific patch, then you can let one of the
MOTU do that for you.

To become a MOTU you need to be an Ubuntu member first, which means
you'll have to give a sustained and significant contribution to Ubuntu.
Sending patched to the MOTU is a good way of making such a
contribution :)

I believe these are automatically removed from Ubuntu too, but I'm
definitely not sure about that. Otherwise you can ask one of the MOTU to
poke the ftp admin :)
