Harish asked for a comparison of two terms, not how to best phrase the question. I took the liberty to introduce a third term and compare them both against that. A term which I was confident about and was certain to keep relevancy for this mailinglist - confusions of terms are quite well known to turn discussions off-topic here. I agree that "Debian Blend" is a vague term which potentially has no special intent towards Debian and therefore more accurately could be called a "Debian derivative" - but that is a different topic than the one raised by Harish, I believe.
