In my experience Ubuntu doesn't really care about packages outside of a narrow
set of "desktop" or "regular user" ones, and therefore is not a good choice for
a such use. E.g. they have been shipping an ancient version of mdadm (2.6.x)
long after it was no longer sane to even try using it. :)
You can compare
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mdadm
with
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mdadm&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
and notice that Debian generally has a newer mdadm.
