Debian (with Gnome 2) seems to be much less a memory hog than
Lubuntu.

Hmmm, please explain more, as this is very hard to
understand, UNLESS Ubuntu has forced all of UBUNTU distros to
use some parts of Unity that makes even LXDE use more
resources?

Did you try Debian (Gnome2) vs Debian with LXDE?

Lubuntu here

You don't compare the memory footprint of bare distros, or, at lest, there is
nothing to gain by doing this.

You compare the footprint of the OSes after configuring them to do what you
want... And you probably won't find any difference between *buntu and Debian.

But I do not want to discorage you from trying Debian. It's much better
maintained than Unbutu, so it's much easier to keep at the long term.
