Ubuntu is a debian derivative. Ubuntu people sync their packages from
Debian unstable repository periodically.
Web2py packages are in Debian since less than a couple of weeks.
Ubuntu released a new version yesterday, so I supposse they'll take
the packages soon. The packages that are in Debian are exactly the
same that Ubuntu will take, so you can use them if you're using a
recent Ubuntu version, because Ubuntu is not going to modify them.
