I do hope its a sign of a Ubuntu/Mint divorce

I'm fine with them keeping both versions honestly.

They fix most of the problems I have with Ubuntu in the main version.

I do agree that focusing more on the Debian version would be a good move though.

That's a good move, but like a decade late. I'll be interested in seeing how this stacks against Fedora's Kickstart, which is very mature, or Canonical's offerings.

That's not what this is...

Linux Mint already had OEM install support. They are now adding it to the Debian flavor.

The OEM install is a bit dated since you are expected to customize an install and then clone the drive. However, it comes mostly from Ubuntu.
