It makes all the sense in the world to me.
Getting Debian in sync with Ubuntu and putting it on a strong time-based release means that both projects can reduce the amount of effort it takes to produce a 'stable' release since they are working on it together.
It increases the ability for users to depend on and plan around Debian as well as reduce the amount of change that Ubuntu and other Debian-based distros need to do on their own to keep up with new software releases and hardware support.
