dietPi is in fact Debian, with extra scripts to install/remove software. They also thinned it way down, so you get a working system with the bare essentials.
Would it be worth switching if I'm already set up on Debian?
If you're all set up on Debian, I don't see the advantage of switching to another flavor of Debian, unless you have a low powered machine (low specs, not much RAM).
Then I'll conseder it when I'm feeling productive. I am using an old netbook. Thanks for the answers.
