I can't help but roll my eyes at this. There are so many valid reasons
to write "linux", "debian", or even "gnome" or "xerox"^W"kde". You can find
some good in examples in the descriptions of devscripts and debhelper 
("debian/", "debian package") which do not refer to a proper name and so
don't need to be capitalised.
