So there is no difference between "Debian" and "Debian GNU/Linux"?
(Actually, I think the former would be proper now, as we have the
*bsds aboard now). I've read discussions quite to the contrary, btw.

Could you give me a reference for that claim? By this reasoning, all
packages on my systems have names using only lower case letters:
for i in $(dpkg --get-selections|cut -f1); do dpkg -s $i; done | grep Package
which is clearly wrong, e.g. PostgreSQL is not spelled postgresql.
I rather suggest having a look at
env LC_ALL=C apt-cache show apt
and reading the Description part. There always APT is used, not apt.
Also on APT's bugs page you'll find APT.
Maybe we can ask the developers?
Greetings
Helge
