If Ubuntu and Mint disappeared tomorrow, then the good ship Debian would sail on as if nothing had happened. If Debian disappeared in a puff of smoke, there would be major holes in Ubuntu and Mint.
Debian is major distro because of its wealth of package maintainers, without whose work the derivative distros could not exist.
