Might you be thinking of another project?  Because the UserLinux
project is to be based off Debian.  In fact, as I understand it, it's
supposed to be more like a subproject than a fork of Debian.  From
Bruce's whitepaper: "I propose to work with the Debian distribution,
integrating our changes directly into Debian, rather than creating a
separate distribution." (http://userlinux.com/white_paper.html)
