The idea of a server based fork of Debian is kind of appealing in some ways, like the Fedora server and cloud projects[1][2] which are quite interesting work, aimed at a (sub)distribution with focus on particular use cases, not the kitchen sink approach.

"The idea of a server based fork of Debian"

I'd be running it on my desktops. All I need is a way to spawn chromium and emacs and consoles (I like konsole, but if it drags in too many dependencies I'll put something else on).

If/When chromium depends on systemd (WTF, a web browser / page renderer logically SHOULD depend on your init system, of course) then I'll use another browser... somehow.
