Ubuntu doesn't re-package every Debian packages.
Many packages in Ubuntu are "pristine" Debian packages.
Some packages doesn't exist in Debian in the first place but some Debian
packages doesn't exist in Ubuntu too.

Have any statistics as to how many 'pristine' debian packages by Ubuntu collections?

Are they more likely to be found in Ubuntu universe versus Ubuntu main or what? Are we talking like 1% of Ubuntu's main collection? Are we talking 10% of Ubuntu's universe? Or are we just talking about a handful of pristine debian packages?
