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.

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/ IMO it's foolish to use Mint. What is the
reason to prefer an Ubuntu
derivative over an official Ubuntu flavour?
Following your stance one could say
the same about Ubuntu, as Ubuntu is
a debian derivative.
