That's a choice that the developers/packagers are free to make for
themselves really, which is cool. I mean, I know from first hand
experience that some packages won't be compatible with Debian unstable
but will be compatible with Ubuntu (in my case, because Ubuntu had a
newer Gnome than Debian and some APIs had changed between the versions).
But I'm all for contributing back to Debian where possible since they
contribute so much to Ubuntu.
