Really, it's very easy. I would be satisfied if both of the following were done: Every time you find a bug in an Ubuntu package, make some effort to determine if it is Ubuntu-specific or might rather affect all Debian users. If it is not Ubuntu-specific, then file a bug report, and optionally, a patch, in the Debian BTS. Every Ubuntu package should have a different Maintainer unless the Debian maintainer has agreed to be the Maintainer of the Ubuntu package as well. The Ubuntu package should, of course, continue to give credit to the upstream Debian maintainer, but not by designating that individual as the Maintainer in the Ubuntu package.
