I think you misunderstand the Ubuntu numbering scheme. The version
number is <year-2000>.<month>, so you guarantee to get a "major
version" change every year, and that the "minor version" changes by
approximately 6 (mod 6) each time (usually 04 to 10 each time).
My understanding is that they plan on making an LTS release every
2-2.5 years.

I would say that this isn't an accurate view of either Ubuntu's or
Debian's intent.
