I find this very hard to believe.

I have read thousands of postings about LaTeX,
attended many TeX/LaTeX meetings,
and do not recall ever hearing or seeing the word = Debian in that context.

and as far as I could see the only postings on = comp.text.tex
with "Debian" in them concerned supposed = bugs
in the Debian implementation of TeX.)
