When Etch came out, the Samba packages were so bad that I ended up trying Ubuntu (7.04). It worked great!
That's just silly. I use Ubuntu on my desktops and servers mostly because I prefer the extra fit-and-polish it has to Debian. But I've used both and the packages themselves are basically the same. A particular Ubuntu stable release package of Samba is more likely to be more current than the Debian stable release, but that's a result of policy differences, not technical ones. The source for the packages is the same: the Debian package repos. The main difference is that Ubuntu might add a patch or two that hasn't made it into the stable Debian package yet, but other than that, they are the same.
Kudos to the good work of the Debian devs. Without you, there would be no Ubuntu and the world would be much worse off without Debian.
As far as the comments on Fedora, you're also aware that the Ubuntu devs follow Fedora development and take away some of their best stuff, too, right?
