I suppose that would be the correct interpretation, thanks for making
this observation.

atleast for the rolling distribution they are clear that it would
"not" be compatible with Ubuntu

exact quote below

1. Is LMDE compatible with Ubuntu-based Linux Mint editions?

No, it is not. LMDE is compatible with Debian, which isn’t compatible
with Ubuntu.
