Both Maemo and Ubuntu are based on Debian, and so use the same excellent package management system (APT) to synchronize versions and choose features. Maemo is smaller (duh!), with some extra goodies for small touch screens. So I'm not so sure that the horse of different color you are referring to hasn't already shown itself... :)
