	Hey.

 First of all, thanks for following up to my dent - it's really
appreciated!

 Hmm, I'm not too sure - the page stars of with "CrunchBang Linux is an
Ubuntu based distribution". From my understanding the list is meant to
contain directly Debian-based distributions and not ones that are based
on something based on Debian. The difference would increase and get more
and more diverse.

 Of course I don't say that I have the only saying on the thing, but I'm
not yet convinced enough that we really should list derivatives of
derivatives of derivatives.

 What's the opinion of others on that? If people would like to have it
added nevertheless I'd rather go for a clear seperation of things that
are directly based on Debian and things that are only indirectly based
on Debian.

 Hmm, so do I get your last line right, are the latest builds based
directly on Debian, or are they just using Debian tools for building?

 Thanks!
