If you use the Search box at the top of every AskUbuntu page on this topic, you will discover that folks have tried this before, and it frequently ended badly.
Ubuntu and Debian compile (mostly) the same source code...but at different times and against against different dependency versions. The results are often incompatible outside the specific distro and release. A .deb package is NOT universal.
Some packages (like scripts instead of compiled software) can indeed cross over without problems. However, such crossovers are untested and not guaranteed to work.
