No. Some ubuntu packages will have dependencies set that can not be met with debian repositories. That being said, you *could* add the repositories needed and grab the packages needed, but by the time that the trees are all up to a required version, you would likely be running enough to say your system is running Ubuntu rather than Debian.

I thought I remembered reading something on the Debian site when 5 was released that not all Ubuntu debs would work, but can't seem to find it now.
