Taking the last thing first: Welcome. Seems you came to the right place! If by "shall" you mean it better be but maybe not there yet (i.e. more vague than "must") then as long as the ideal is not reached your thingy is a derivative (it is derived from Debian) and it is also a Debian Blend (it wants to be a subset of Debian but isn't yet). If by "shall" you mean "must" - or when the ideal state is reached - then your thingy is not a derivative (it is not derived) but is a Debian Pure Blend. ...if I understand correctly what you were asking. Care to elaborate more on what you want to create? Is it only an idea by now, or do you have something more concrete? Are you set on what and how you want it, or would you be interested in criticism and feedback?
