You can't [actually, you don't want to] mix packages from Debian and
Ubuntu (or any Debian based distribution).
Just one small example: A package foo version 1.0 for ubuntu may have a
small patch that isn't applied in Debian. Upgrading from
foo_1.0ubuntu.deb to Debian/Sid's foo1.1.deb may break that program (and
your system ;).
...Doing the other way around (Ubuntu on Debian) would be a bad idea
too, for the same reason.
Of course, you are welcome to install Debian on a separate partition !

BTW, this mailing list is mainly about Debian website. You can get help
installing Debian on the debian-user@... mailing list.
