Linux Mint has two editions. The normal edition is based on Ubuntu,
but it's still not Ubuntu. The Debian Edition is based on Debian
testing (Wheezy), but isn't Debian either.
Being based on something doesn't automatically make it what it's based
on. They ship different software by default and might have done
multiple changes to the distribution where it's based on.

Or whatever distribution you want to use. Linux Mint has a mailing
list http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=152&t=73603 .
