You've misread that post.
7% is the percentage of packages in Ubuntu that are packaged in Ubuntu
and not in Debian.
17% is the percentage of packages in Ubuntu that are packaged in both
Debian and Ubuntu and are modified by Ubuntu developers.
In a reply to a comment, Raphael says "The 17% is easy to find out,
take common packages between Debian and Ubuntu and count those which
have a version ending in ubuntuX".
I searched for package versions that included "ubuntu" without
excluding packages that are in Ubuntu and aren't in Debian.
