Ah? I just know the &debian; entity, which expands to Debian GNU/Linux,
which is quite long and thus is not used in a lot of places.

I see.

Well, to keep the manual readable we should probably not replace Debian
with &debian; as it is now.  Maybe rename the existing `debian' entity
into something else like debiangnu, and then introduce &debian;
expanding to Debian?
