The point is not non-free apps, but the non-free nature of Mepis-specific scripts. Debian, BTW, has non-free repositories. It also offers 15'000 applications, far more than Mepis can ever dream of offering. As for the (in-)famous Debian install issue, Sarge is much easier, you can use Knoppix, or even the ultra-small but powerful 50MB Damn Small Linux who can allow you to install the full Debian. Without any non-free scripts.
You talk about sour grapes. But this implies something which one cannot get and therefore denigrates. Are you seriously suggesting that Debian users are missing something present on Mepis. LOL!!
Saying that Mepis boosts Debian is akin to suggest that a microbe can provide a gigantic boost to a main battle tank: utter and complete nonsense.
