Nemo provides a lot of improvements to nautilus' user experience, including:

  *Unified, configurable toolbar: you can add/remove the following: up
icon, refresh icon, toggle button for the location bar / path bar,
home icon, computer icon and search icon.
  * Detachable tabs
  * Option to show the full path in the titlebar and tab bars
(Preferences > Display)
  * Displays an "elevated privileges" banner when running as root
  * Built in "Open as root" context menu item
  * Built in "Open in terminal" context menu item
  * Added GTK bookmarks to the MoveTo/CopyTo context menus
  * Added "Set as Wallpaper" to the context menu
  * Switch view buttons on the toolbar (Grid, List and Compact views)
  * Drag and drop support for the bookmarks in the sidebar
  * Sidebar: indicators under each drive, displaying the free/used space
  * Collapsable sidebar categories
  * Support for sending files via Thunderbird and xdg-email
  * Image properties improvements (merged from Nautilus 3.6)
  * Memory leaks fixes (merged from Nautilus 3.6)

So, "redundancy" is only partially true. I strongly suggest you accept
Nemo into Debian official repositories (provided the packages are good
quality and lintian-clean). If not, then nautilus maintainers should
incorporate these changes to their file manager (which I think would
be preferable, and alleviate the need for a fork such as Nemo). I
don't think they're willing to do this.

Thanks
