Consider aptosid if you want almost-pure debian with someone looking over the 
latest changes to sid and applying fixes/warnings if needed. It is the re-named 
sidux, and they were the core of the kannotix team before that, so they have 
been maintaining a good rolling distribution for a long time now and tend to be 
mirrored in a lot of big mirrors. Xfce or KDE, 64 or 32 bit versions.

The multimedia maintainers for debian have been very active, and that work is 
mostly in sid rather than squeeze (which is from about 9 months ago now, and 
will be the stable version for the next two years).
