"just as Ubuntu or many *of* the other derivatives of Debian."

Fair enough. Tails is a debian derivative that is not a Debian Pure
Blend[1]; ie, it is not merely "a subset of Debian that is configured

At first, I thought that it might be a Pure Blend. FWiW, This page
convinced me you are correct:

Thank you for elaborating.
