"Debian" doesn't care about anything. If there are people interested in
improving Debian regarding multimedia it will be, otherwise not, it's
that simple.

So called multimedia distros often fail, regarding to manpower, e.g. 64
Studio and at least Ubuntu Studio fails, because they must be close to
Ubuntu, but the flashy folderol desktop approach of all distros,
including Debian, is a PITA for serious multimedia production.

Debian just happens to default to Gnome, but it's trivial to install a
desktop with Xfce or LXDE only, or even no Desktop Environment, if you
don't need one.
