I'm not sure it's worth it.  I remember a bug against Apache 1.3 saying
that we shouldn't include the "Debian GNU/Linux" string as that said we
had component "GNU" with version "Linux".  See sections 3.8 and 14.38
of HTTP/1.1.

Why don't we just put "(Debian)" in instead?

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
