In the bigger picture yes, but as in this case it's Ubuntu that's blacklisted 
the package, probably best to go straight to them.

There may also be a benefit in having a direct relationship with Ubuntu because 
their more frequent release cycle may make it easier to ensure the most 
up-to-date package is out there.  IIRC their relationship with most packages in 
Debian is to take a snapshot of Sid at a particular point in time, so if you've 
got a new release of LDC after that snapshot is taken, it may be passed over 
unless you go to Ubuntu directly.
