Brian, without Ubuntu, Debian would have been dead by now! If Mark didn't employ the few developers from Debian, but from say any other one, Arch, Gentoo, Slackware, etc, one of them would be in the forefront today, not Debian.
It is Debian, who has to be dependent on Ubuntu, rather than the other way!
If not for Ubuntu, there won't be any 'forks' of Ubuntu and any forks of Debian.
If Mark had put his head in to say, Slackware, Debian would be dead by now, and Slackware would be on top of the Linux world!
