The reported Hsync and Vsync from the (supposedly) identical monitor are not the same. I'd assume the monitor doesn't advertise them properly and then X falls back to the defaults with are not the same from one distro to the other. I'd try to force the monitor's Hsync and Vsync to the values given by Debian in your Ubuntu conf. Or even better, find what the correct values for your monitor are from the manufacturer documentation and use these values.
