I share the view that the most appropriate way to give credit would be to preserve the debian/changelog. Also, as long as the technical choice made in Ubuntu are also fine with Debian, I see as pointless the proposal of redoing the packaging (if it is good). Last but not least, once upon a time there used to be an Utnubu project in Debian [1], if you settle with some reasonable guidelines, you might want to write them somewhere there (and advertise them a bit).
