Not sure what you mean by that.

There is an Ubuntu LTS release every 2 years. There is also a Debian
release roughly every 2 years (although not on quite as strict a
schedule). So that's very similar.

They are are about a year apart, so they will usually contain different
versions of most packages right from the start. So the Ubuntu and Debian
security teams probably can't benefit much from each other.
