Ubuntu is actually working on a system, called Launchpad
(http://launchpad.net/), which is apparently going to be an Uber meta BTS,
tracking bugs in Debian's BTS as well as a pile of other distros' BTSes. In
principle, then, you could use that system to track the mapping between
Debian bugs and Ubuntu bugs.
Currently, the system is being used to track bugs in the "Universe" packages
(those which aren't in the fully-supported distro -- the vast majority of
Debian, in other words) but not the much smaller 'main' distro. I haven't
looked at how good the bug mapping is lately, though, and the system isn't
ready for full-scale production yet.
