If you mean Debian GNU/Linux, you're asking in the wrong place.
If you mean Debian (Free|Net)BSD, I suggest you look elsewhere. The ports
have made great progress, but I think the developers would agree that
deploying them in a production environment would be unconscionable.
In the case of an ISP, I expect your priorities are reliability and
simplicity, rather than powerful tools for managing packages, cruft, etc.
Given this, and your current setup, I'd consider using the standard
FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD distributions before Linux.
