there is no distribution. there are only packages which work
together or don't.
one might point to the debian installer as the package that
draws the others in, but the debian installer is not actually
required to have a functional, recognizable, and even 'orthodox'
debian system.
one might point to the mighty apt and dpkg manipulators, but
they are not the distribution either. ftp, wget, curl can
acquire the packages. a sufficient number of manipulations with
a de-archiver and some shell scripting can install a package properly.
is the de-archiver the distribution? no.
the flight of the flock of swallows is real, but it is not a thing. the
debian distribution is the flight of a flock of packages.
