The debian-kernel mailing list follows our mailing list naming 
conventions, i.e. debian-foo, which go back to when these were hosted by 
Pixar. Similarly, our IRC channels generally start with "debian-" so 
they're in a pseudo-namespace (which used to be particularly useful 
before irc.debian.org became OFTC). That doesn't mean "Debian French", 
for example, means something.
