The point of packaging u-d-t in Debian is that it provides tools that
are useful to Ubuntu developers running Debian (my case, for example).
Some of the tools in ubuntu-dev-tools are better suited for other
packages, like devscripts, but packaging u-d-t as is doesn't prevent
those scripts from being moved to devscripts at some point in the
future.
