I do not find it "necessary" for Debian to follow a naming scheme used in Ubuntu, just as upstream should not worry about Debian when they choose a naming scheme. Ubuntu developers are strongly encouraged to help maintain packages in Debian as a better alternative to try second-guess future naming of Debian packages. When Ubuntu introduces packages in their repos that does not exist in Debian, there is a real risk of diverging from Debian. It only makes sense to me to treat Debian as upstream to Ubuntu - not the opposite.
