Ok, so how can we phrase this less "spiteful", still short and
accurate?  I never used the word "botching" before so I can't
judge if it's offending or not, but its translation seemed to
fit in what I thought.

The following would be even more accurate:

Dec 11  Infomagic and Debian announce the botching of Debian 1.0, 1995
