> I wouldn't view AIMS Desktop as quite a 'distro' per se. It aims to use only Debian packages from the official debian archives. It couldn't quite reach that for this release, but it will probably for buster.

AIMS is what we in Debian more specifically label as a "Blend":

Blend: a Debian-based distribution that is, or wants to become, a Pure Blend - i.e. has as an explicit goal of improving Debian as a whole, consequently all extras they offer will either become part of Debian, or are temporary workarounds to solve a need of the target group which can't be solved within Debian yet.

Congratulations with your release!
