Ubuntu had in fact detected the other OS's. But the issue was that I would
not be able to boot once I wipe the Ubuntu partition. So sudo update-grub
from both Ubuntu and Debian did the same thing. Didn't passover control to
Debian.

So did a sudo grub-install /dev/sda from Debian and controls are back now to
Debian. Thanks for the help.
Hope someone can help with the new Ubuntu 11.04 install as well.
