I think you don't properly understand Ubuntu. ubuntu has (approximately)
all 13,000 or so packages from Debian ready for users to download. For
example, these are just an apt-get\ install away.
interchange
ezpublish-src
zope-emarket
phpgroupware-*
pop-before-smtp
teapop
firebird-c64-server
aolserver-nspostgres
gnokii-smsd
plone
freeradius

I'd not count Knoppix and its ilk as distros, they're
demonstration/ermergency tools, even those that _can_ be installed. If
one installs Knoopix, one has a bit of a maintenance mess: some from
Debian Sarge (testing), some from SID (Still In Development) and some
from other places.
