The only difference in Ubuntu is the fix for http://bugs.debian.org/499548 (missing dependency) which hasn't been applied in Debian yet. The slony1 package indeed DTRT, it builds postgresql-X.Y-slony1. Thus if you upgrade from e. g. an 8.1 system, the -8.1-slony package will stick around, and you can install postgresql-8.3 and postgresql-8.3-slony1 to do the upgrade.
