Yeah, you are right.  I was confused because Debian has an easy install,
The Linux Mint Ubuntu-variant has an easy install.  It seemed to follow
that Linux Mint Debian would have an easy install.

But I've poked around a bit and it seems that they may be trying to ward
off novice users.  LMDE is based on Debian Testing which, of course, is a
more turbulent ride than regular Debian.

*Cons:LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and
APT.Debian is a less user-friendly/desktop-ready base than Ubuntu. Expect
some rough edges.*"
