Following your stance one could say the same about Ubuntu, as Ubuntu is
a debian derivative.
That is something completely different, since
1. Ubuntu has a huge users base and provides quite good support, e.g. by
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/
Note, I'm an Arch Linux user. I'm an advocate of official Ubuntu
flavours, because Ubuntu IMO is a really good trade-off for those who
need a helping hand.
