The fly in the ointment [for Qubes OS] has been X. [Invisible Things Lab]are adapting their GUI to isolate X sessions.

I wrote something like the above in a previous post as a tangential thought about Wayland; I wanted to clarify it some. Feel free to ignore.
Back onto the off-topic subject: If I had to guess, I'd say there aren't any short-term repercussions affecting Debian. As others have pointed out, Ubuntu is Ubuntu, and Debian is Debian. They are not Siamese twins, joined at the hip. I wish them the best of luck, but for me it will be business as usual.
