Then you'll be glad to learn that Michael is going to be one of the Ubuntu
community managers. :-)

Apparently he will take special care of Ubuntu's upstreams, and Debian
certainly is one of Ubuntu's upstream.
That said I don't share your point of view, most of the new Ubuntu
contributors (at least those involved in packaging) are very much aware of
the relationship with Debian and it's not uncommon that they are asked to
forward patches to Debian, or to consider submitting new packages to
Debian directly.
