It's certainly not reserved. Maybe some common sense - is there some reason to use Debian's name? I would personally feel like it was inappropriate to use Debian's name to lend weight to a talk/paper/argument I was making when that talk/paper/argument wasn't actually about Debian. I would also feel it inappropriate to go somewhere and state that I represented Debian in any way except the narrow areas of the project where I participate. On the other hand, if I was going to an IT conference and not going in relation to my paid job, I might put my role as something about Debian, just to have something on my nametag and to give people an idea of the sorts of things I'm interested in. These are my feelings, and are not the result of a hasty conversation in a smoke-filled back room by members of the Cabal.
