Glancing through this changelog there are no references to Ubuntu's usage of "quiet" or "splash" or the removal of the GNU/Linux string.

Can you please provide a more thorough explanation why you believe the Ubuntu delta can be dropped?

       - Change build-dependency of unifont-bin to unifont (>= 1:5.1.20080820),

  * Merge from Debian Unstable (LP: #298872, LP: #256578).
    Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    + debian/control:
      - Depend on rather than Suggest os-prober; Ubuntu version does not
        suffer from the mount problem that prevents Debian from marking this
       Depends.
    + debian/default/grub
      - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options.
      - Use new GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to set "quiet splash" for
        default items only. These options won't be set in single user mode.
    + debian/patches/03_ubuntu_grub_standards
      - Remove GNU/Linux from default string.
  * New upstream snapshot includes ext4 extents support (LP: #294763)
  * Debian patch 02_dpkg_version_comparison.diff fixes kernel ordering
    (LP: #215513)
  * debian/patches/04_uuids_and_abstraction_dont_play_along_nicely:
    + Drop. Ubuntu's mdadm and lvm properly populate /dev/disk/by-uuid, so
      this workaround is unnecessary.
  * debian/changelog:
    + Drop duplicated 1.96+20080203-1ubuntu2 and 1.96+20080203-1ubuntu1
      entries. We only really need them in there once!
  * Drop debian/patches/04_convert_root_uuid:
    - GRUB2 upstream now uses UUIDs when possible.

      this workaround is unnecessary.
  * debian/changelog:
    + Drop duplicated 1.96+20080203-1ubuntu2 and 1.96+20080203-1ubuntu1
      entries.  We only really need them in there once!
  * Drop debian/patches/04_convert_root_uuid:
    - GRUB2 upstream now uses UUIDs when possible.
