Well I am not the Dev but they decided to write a installer from scratch, they did not use Debian's installer due to it not being as user friendly. As to not using Ubiquity I would think it would be more of a pain to port it to Debian that write there own from scratch.

See I don't think that was the issue. The latest beta release of Aurora (formerly EEEbuntu) is now built on Debian as well and it uses the good old Ubuntu-like installer still...

The Aurora project are building there own installer called Exogenesis
I'm the Pinguy OS developer.

Perhaps Mint and Aurora should hop in bed and swap some code. :)

On a side note, I see Sidux has been resurrected as Aptosid.  I don't know what all that was about but I personally think the name "Sidux" was much cooler.
