Well, to be correct: Debian itself is not a US registered organisation,
but Software in the Public Interest, Debian's legal umbrella is.
To be best of my knowledge Debian helps SPI to comply with the US laws
by announcing new and changed packages to Department of Commerce's
Bureau of Export Administration (see
http://ftp-master.debian.org/crypto-in-main/ for some examples).
See http://www.debian.org/legal/cryptoinmain for more information about
that.
