I'm slightly curious. If someone managed to get a package in Ubuntu, but then stopped maintaining it, why would encouraging him to get it into Debian make him more likely to maintain it? If I'm a developer who wants my package in Ubuntu, why would I want to maintain it for Debian, a distro I don't even use? It seems to me asking developers to get their software into Debian first is likely to discourage them further.
