Hilmar, I've no idea what Ninjablock is,I've just now looked, and there seems to be many different things that could be related. However, since Ubuntu is based on Debian there is a decent chance that porting it over could be possible. The biggest hurdle might be which compiler(version) was used on Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu's package's are typically ahead of Debians(stable) packages in versions.
Anyway, the biggest reason to make the change would be for consistency. So if you would prefer a more consistent experience, Debian might be the right choice for you. But really, what needs to be ported ? Drivers ? Or is it just some executable from source that could be easily recompiled on Debian ? Now might be the time to catalog what needs doing before you invest too much time into Ubuntu - If you do not care to.
