In my view, a Debian Pure Blend _is_ as boring looking as Debian itself, 
because it _is_ Debian.  What then makes sense is that companies brand 
various redistributions of (physical boxes containing) the FreedomBox 
blend of Debian.

I would imagine that Canonical would then make their own "Frubuntu" 
fork, whereas Globalscale Technologies and New IT could be convinced of 
the selling point of marketing their *Plug hardware as by default 
containing the _Pure_ blend of FreedeomBox.
