I get what you are saying. But the difference is more akin to Mint and Ubuntu. Where one started as a fork of the other, which itself was a fork of something else, but at this point in time both are so different from their original source material that they’re all three just considered different distributions of the same thing.

Mint still takes upstream changes from Ubuntu though right?

Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian all still rely on the Linux kernel, though. A better comparison might be how LineageOS is technically a fork of the dead CyanogenMod project, but even before the latter fully imploded was different enough to be its own thing.

Both of them still relied on the existence of AOSP though, for new features, bug fixes, hardware support, certain core functionality, etc. AOSP is a lot bigger than just the Linux kernel, and because of the tighter coupling between hardware and software on mobile devices, there's a whole other discussion about creating a real non-Android OS for them, but I think that's a closer parallel.

Good old Cyanogen, my 10yo found my old nexus one in a draw, charged it up and turned it on....CyanogenMod boot screen, nice.
