You said Ubuntu both times.  Which is Debian and which is Ubuntu?
It shouldn't be a problem, as long as the UUID is correct.  If the partition
has been re-formatted since /etc/fstab was created, the
UUID might have changed.  Verify that the UUIDs match.  The blkid
command will tell you what the actual current UUID for a device
is.  For example:

   blkid /dev/sda2

If blkid returns no output, try wipefs (from package util-linux) to
see if there are any residual file system signatures that may
be confusing udev/blkid.  But the first thing to try is manually
umounting the file system in Ubuntu before shutdown.
