I've never received *any* contribution brought back from Ubuntu. Not a
single bug report. Only a bogus web page with outdated and unuseful
diffs.
On the other side, important improvements to my packages are sometimes
integrated to Ubuntu in an amazingly short amount of time.
This is fair. After all, that's what Free software is about. But I know
for sure that "contributing back to Debian" stuff is 100% talk and 0%
reality.
