I am not sure how different the two situations are.  Ubuntu is
presumably relying on the Debian security team as well as other
volunteers and at least one company, namely Canonical.

The sysadmins I know who are interested in long-term stability and
avoiding unnecessary OS updates use Debian rather than Ubuntu, but
that's maybe just my bubble.
