Is Debian dead?

With so much focus on ubuntu, it's community, and structured organization it has been said that Ubuntu is what Debian should be.
Seems at least one major Debian developer agrees. Debian needs to evolve or become a historic reference. With Ubuntu being as true of a gnu Linux as Debian but with more structure, more active development, and a sane release road map Debian is becoming insignificant and I hate to say it but I've had no reason to go back to Debian. Ubuntu gives you everything that Debian gives you and then some. In my opinion Ubuntu is not just a distro that uses apt or is built on Debian, it's Debian's successor.
