Ubuntu does not draw from Debian Experimental, or at least not in any
way that would cause alarm.  This is a weird claim that the MEPIS guy
stated as fact without providing any evidence.  Ubuntu has a six-month
QA process outlined here:

The way that you seem to be saying "they draw from debian experimental"
implies that Ubuntu just sort of grabs crack-of-the-day packages
willy-nilly for core system functions.  In fact, the core packages of
Ubuntu are the most conservative, and are often custom-built
independently of Debian.
