They probably could have been, butI would have been reluctant to vote on
an option that included Ubuntu.  It may be based on Debian, but IMHO Debian
is much morestable, especially when it comes time for a release upgrade.

I run Debian, Devuan (a Debian variant), and Raspbian here.  Usedto run
Ubuntu on one sbc because I thought I had to.  Just like the other time I
tried out ubuntu on another machine, when it came time for the next release
upgrade, I followed the directions and wound up with an sbc that didn't
work any more.

Installed the relative Debian version instead and viola, it just worked.
