I don't know Debian-Junior well enough. But if the result of their work
it is only the meta-packages that I've stumbled upon in official Debian,
then yes. If their result is those packages (together with other
official Debian packages) roled out on some distribution media on their
own, then _that_ part of their work is not a DDD.
You could call such a thing an ADD (Almost Debian Distribution) if you
like. But no, I still would not want to participate in a discussion
regarding such names. I am just offering you a name that you can grab
if you like.

Exactly because you do only work fully inside Debian I consider it a
DDD.
When you release your own custom-polished Blue-ray disc for Debian-Med,
that disc I will consider an ADD.
If you also, in addition to rolling your own distribution media, add
some non-package configuration trick to your media (see bug#311188) then
you could call such thing an AAD.
And if even including some (1 or 999) not-exactly-Debian packages to
your mix, you could call such a beast an AAA. Debian-edu fits that
description (Almost Debian packages, Almost Debian-configured and Almost
Debian distributed).
