I agree that it's great to see Debian-based distros get some press, but what about Debian? I recently put Ubuntu Breezy on my portable, expecting great advantages over Debian Sid, and was greatly disappointed. Instead of drastic improvements, I was stifled by not having immediate access to my "Run Application" button in Gnome, not being able to see kernel-loading messages, not being able to access the Login Manager in GDM, and in general not finding any improvements beyond the current state of Debian. I'm not saying I don't like Ubuntu. It's still on my portable (just barely). All I'm saying is it's certainly not any better than Debian Unstable, and, IMHO, it's not a replacement. Call me a fool for Debian, but I wouldn't trade it for the world =) How about instead of putting Ubuntu up against a bunch of RPM-based distributions, you throw Debian itself in the mix there and see how it fares? Again, just my opinion...
