> Ubuntu's "main" component is as philosophically free as Debian's "main" component. See here.

Only in statement. Ubuntu includes lots of stuff that are non-free by Debian standard (pristine firefox/thunderbird, GFDL+Invariant section docs, CC BY-SA , some firmware, etc.), so either Ubuntu is less serious about its commitment or Ubuntu freedom philosophy is different from Debian.
