Going through Debian first is the preferred method. To speedup the
syncing process, you can request a sync (with the requestsync tool).
There are two ways to speed the packaging up that require packaging
skills:
1. Offer the Debian Maintainer to co-maintain the package in
Debian.
2. Update the package in Ubuntu directly. You probably need to
follow the sponsoring process [1].
