Well, I believe part of the reason is the number of releases ubuntu
have done the last few years while Debian has only done one. I'm not
sure if the Ubuntu installer ask during installation. The number of
submissions increased a lot when etch was released, and I expect the
same will happen when lenny is released. One can see similar effect
for every ubuntu release, which suggest to me that the default
installer ask.
In short, I believe ubuntu have more users who have seen the question
and decided to participate, and I suspect they have more users as
well. But the latter is hard to know anything about. Other surveys
indicate the same, so I believe we can believe it.
Here is the latest architecture distribution from popcon.debian.org:
1 0.00% ppc64
2 0.00% i486
3 0.00% hurd-i386

9 0.01% m68k
12 0.02% armel
12 0.02% s390
14 0.02% kfreebsd-i386
24 0.03% mips
51 0.07% ia64
70 0.10% hppa
78 0.11% mipsel
