Okay, I was being a bit facetious there, but if you insist on taking me
seriously, I suspect that the pronunciation of the project initiator is,
at least in the case of Debian, more correct than most alternatives. In
particular, because the etymology is from a contraction of Deborah and Ian[1],
pronouncing it as the first three letters of each of those names seems
appropriate.
