Sure, that's exactly what Mint is. Debian but with things changed a bit to be Ubuntu but with things changed a bit to be Mint. You just draw the line differently. Personally I'm happy with Debian Stable and Arch, and I barely use the former lately. I don't see the point in creating an entirely new distribution that is effectively just a package change. I use Ubuntu servers for work a decent amount because it's common, that's about it.
