It looks good!

See: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/C414F28FD2BEC1553024299B31D4E726BEB8E788

Also, a good way to verify the version is to run tor with the --version
switch:

    /usr/bin/tor --version

Yes, it should be fine. Ubuntu uses the Debian package.

Big thanks for running a relay!
