That is something completely different, since
1. Ubuntu has a huge users base and provides quite good support, mailing lists. Mint doesn't.
2. Take a look at the Debian tracker, for example
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ardour
on the right side the Ubuntu link is available, Debian and Ubuntu do
cooperate. There is no direct cooperation with Mint.
3. Ubuntu takes over responsibility, for example
https://usn.ubuntu.com/
True is that a couple of debian maintainers been as well the
maintainers
of the Ubuntu packages, but that didn't change that Ubuntu is a debian
derivative.
Your stance above about derivative or not is completely unrelated
(foolish) to what you would prove as a better alternative. It's just
polemic.
The rest you wrote prove your point a way better.
