Well, the problem with a name like yours, as has been seen in the antecedent of secure debian or whatever it was, is the connotation that debian is not pure or pure enough or whatever. I don't think, but other will comment better, that you can continue using this name with the current policies and the secure-debian antecedent because of it. (Also, on a side note, but i guess the name is counter-intuitive, since your sub-distrib is not 'purer' than debian, since it hads some packages of dubious legal standing, but this is only my interpretation).
