Canonical has published "remixes" that included PPA packages, so there's 
nothing novel about this.  I can't seem to find the official definition of a Remix 
on Ubuntu.com anymore, but IIRC UNR [1] was not fully in the archive when 
initially released.  I don't think the Moblin Remix [2] was either, but my 
memory about that one is less clear.

I actually agree that is should not be a remix, but that's not the way the 
term has been used so far.
