Or you could use dh9 and executable .install files:
#! /bin/sh
if dpkg-vendor --derives-from ubuntu; then
BAR=whatever
else
BAR="you-like"
fi
cat <<EOF
${BAR}
EOF
Or, even better:
#! /usr/bin/dh-exec
${BAR}
And in debian/rules, set BAR according to the return value of
dpkg-vendor --derives-from in whatever way you like, and export it.
I could even come up with something interesting to make it easier to do
conditional stuff based on the return value of dpkg-vendor
--dervives-from $foo.
