Welcome to the Hotel California. :-)
The web interface is usually less frustrating than email,
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/unsubscribe
A common problem is you are subscribed from a different address
than you think you are. There is a query that isn't obvious.
From: rick@def.debian.net
To: Majordomo@lists.debian.org
Subject: foo
which rick@def.debian.net
will return the lists I'm subscribed to. You can try other
likely addresses with which. I think one of From: or Reply-To:
has to be the same as the which address.
