Just as aside, please don't confuse Ubuntu and Debian, although Ubuntu
is based on Debian there are enough subtle differences between the two
to cause incompatibilities, e.g. mixing packages, assuming the
documentation applies equally to Debian as well as Ubuntu.
Hmmm, I use Debian Sid and use some Ubuntu PPAs with it. I've used
Debian packages on Ubuntu. Didn't have compatibility problems. But
probably wasn't doing anything ambitious.
Most packages carry straight over and use the same source package. The
ones to watch out for are the ones ubuntu uses to advertise or preadd
bookmarks like firefox or xchat. Also system services will be different...
so grabbing jackd2 may grab dbus as a dep for example which may try to
install upstart as that is unique to ubuntu.
I get jackd2 from Debian, not Ubuntu.
So make sure the deps are
covered with debian packages before installing a ubuntu package. Also, a
lot of ubuntu packages in the main repo are what debian would call
experimental.
Need to correct a miscommunication (my fault). I don't use Ubuntu system
repositories. I use some specific Ubuntu PPAs for particular package(s)
that don't have a Debian package (for whatever reason). (Some people
seem to think that Linux is just a synonym for Ubuntu. So I'm not
risking mixing Ubuntu-specific stuff mentioned above with Debian Sid.
About what Ubuntu and Debian consider "experimental" - Debian seems (to
me) to prefer to err on the side of "better safe than sorry". So they'll
take a package's "new" official release, and treat it as some kind of
beta that needs to be extensively tested.
I have a friend who's a devotee of Debian Stable. He has one exception:
he pulls Iceweasel from Experimental so he has the latest security
fixes. I, on the other hand, replaced the Debian-branded Firefox and
Thunderbird with the real versions from Mozilla. Once installed, they
automatically update themselves.
