This seems incredible to me. What did you mean by this? You have never
heard of Knoppix, Morphix, Xebian, or the huge number of other, similar

Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian; this is what it has always been. It is
different from some other derivatives in that it is derived at the source
level, and does not use binary packages from Debian.
