Hmmm, I recall that I myself am a MOTU, and I for one have been contributing to Debian (in a very miniscule way :/) well before I got into Ubuntu. I cannot speak for my fellow MOTUs, but indeed, I follow the way of `motu proprio'[0] when it comes to contributing to Debian, to Ubuntu, and to F/OSS in general, and I also observe that others in this team feel more or less the same way.
