Actually, I may be wrong, but I think Ubuntu depends on a healthy Debian framework. There is work that Debian provides which Ubuntu can use. If not for Debian, Ubuntu should probably resort to Gentoo or something...

Debian, OTOH, cannot sometimes use Ubuntu developments (mainly because of self-imposed licence restrictions).
