Isn't it just a DE spin off?
Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. LMDE is being built alongside Linux Mint and is based only on Debian.
Linux Mint and LMDE are functionally the same, but LMDE is protection/insurance against Ubuntu doing something stupid.
What happened to LXDE?
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE) are entirely separate products.
