(Debian maintainer here) As far as I know, the Ubuntu source packages are unmodified snapshots of the Debian packages. They are built in a different environment, which sometime introduces problems not found in Debian (presumably the opposite is possible as well). My only suggestion is to try and duplicate the problems in a Debian install, and file Debian bug reports if you can. I am very interested in knowing about problems like files being installed into the wrong place. I'd be happy to have someone who looks after the Ubuntu packages involved with the "upstream" Debian packages; in particular triaging launchpad and figuring out which bugs are really Debian bugs would be very helpful. Not too much packaging expertise is needed for this, just a dual boot setup of Debian/Ubuntu, and perhaps some experience rebuilding packages from source.
