I want to dual boot ubuntu and debain
can I use the same swap drive for both or I have to make to every one a separate swap drive ?

the installer should detect the existing swap partition and use it. no need to create one for each distro. I have Ubuntu 9.04, Sabayon 4.1 and Mint 5 and they all use the same swap.

I had Debian installed up until a couple of hours ago and it was using the same Swap.
