If there is someone to blame for this specific case we can blame Ubuntu. Linux Mint was born when Ubuntu switched from GNOME2 to Unity.

But still, they already have their own repo with their own stuff, and some packages ship configuration files to morph Debian into LMDE.
The rest of their sources.list pulls packages from Debian (or Ubuntu if it's not LMDE).
