'Business card' in English, usually.  'Calling card' is also used, but not as
frequently on this side of the pond, I believe.

I have seen business cards from other developers who did use the logo.  I
think cards fall into the same category as clothing; if you're a Debian
developer and it's not for profit, I think it's safe to use it.  However, if
you're going to use these cards in professional dealings, I wouldn't use the
logo without getting permission first.
