**Note that I'm not encouraging people to post answers that work for other distributions; I'm rather discouraging downvoting / flagging / voting to delete already posted answers mentioning another distribution that work for Ubuntu.**

Would you keep an answer that works, if it works also on Debian? I guess yes.

As long as they work, they're "allowed" (meaning: not deserveful to be deleted).

Many GNU/Linux distributions are so similar in certain aspects that I wouldn't be surprised that even a highly system-dependent solution that works for distribution X would work for Ubuntu as well.

However indeed downvote and flag those that don't.
