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.
