Bug description:
i quickly searched the manual and found no mention of Ubuntu being Debian-based
closest i found was this
"These are known as "debs" and are inherited from Ubuntu’s ascendant, Debian."
but that is way later in chapter 5

financial..."
I'd add it in myself, or submit it or w/e, but no idea how
