The Debian GNOME team counts Ubuntu developers and has write access to the pkg-gnome alioth SVN repository. Ubuntu GNOME packages are directly derived from the Debian ones (rebuilt with minor changes), but the work is usually done in the pkg-gnome SVN repository, preparing the GNOME 2.10 experimental packages for example, and then adapter slightly to Ubuntu. AFAICT, Ubuntu doesn't have an additional SCM after pkg-gnome's one to deal with that for most packages. Ubuntu's developers are giving a lot back through that channel since any reported bug at Ubuntu will get fixed on both sides (and of course Debian bugs too).
