Right.  Unless they start using it to sell Novell or other non-Debian
things, or unless the German telephone regulators forbid you
registering a number based on a trademark you don't hold (which is
what some domain regitrars do AFAIK), there's nothing to do, except
maybe congratulate them on their marketing idea if you like it.
