In the News Canonical Ltd., the sponsor of Ubuntu, and Linspire Inc. the developer of Linspire and Freespire, on February 8 announced a technology partnership to integrate with each other's Linux distributions. Linspire/Freespire will be based on Ubuntu, rather than Debian, and Ubuntu will integrate with Linspire's CNR package installer/updater.

basing a distro on a distro that is based on another distro seems absurd to me.

You must have not been around Linux for very long, then. ;) Seriously, it's all part of how Linux distro's evolve. It's natural evolution, like with all free software. It casually morphs into more and more interesting forms, as long as there are people willing to work on them.
