FWIW, there is a way to do this, to wit, import from LMDE (Mint's Debian respin). The fancy way, which gets updates, would be to add LMDE's repo to sources, taking the necessary steps to pull only those packages (xed and xed-common). What I do is export them from LMDE with dpkg repack, then install into Debian. Presumably only works if both are on the same code base. Can vouch that it works LMDE6 into Debian12.
Why do I bother? Several reasons, nothing earth-shattering. Partly familiarity, partly that I find it useful to have two text editors so I can use different settings, e.g., pretty display font for regular text files, mono for config files.
