Is there some reason we should duplicate x86_32 and x86_64 architectures? Why don't we have only the debian ones? Most people I know of feel more comfortable with debian than with ubuntu. And as someone already said, from a beginner point of view there are not so many differences imho. Newbie users watch to the desktop enviroment and gui (gnome for both debian and ubuntu).
