Your comparison fails because Tails is a distribution of its own not part of Debian in any way, just as Ubuntu or many or the other derivatives of Debian.
"just as Ubuntu or many *of* the other derivatives of Debian." Fair enough. Tails is a debian derivative that is not a Debian Pure Blend[1]; ie, it is not merely "a subset of Debian that is configured to support a particular target group out-of-the-box". At first, I thought that it might be a Pure Blend.
