Is Ubuntu still Debian based? What's the criterion for that anyway? Just using debs?

Ubuntu releases are, effectively, snapshots of Debian sid every 6 months. That's a pretty strong basis.

I wouldn't call Ubuntu a flavor of Debian as they have so big differences, but ultimately it's still mostly Debian. You can see a numerical comparison of packages here: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/mdt/all.html

Yes, Ubuntu is still Debian based with just a little added on top.
