This is not useful. If Ubuntu branches from sid, and, hypothetically,
their packages work to produce new packages for X.Org and GNOME, then
these can be contributed straight back to sid. If they're done against
sarge, then the packages are not immediately useful to Debian.
I don't see which problem you're trying to solve.
