Nowadays it is customary to cite software. It is even required in an
increasing number of settings, in particular reproducible science.
Debian publishes a software distribution, which can certainly be cited.
It is not quite relevant to Debian, but when asking for a grant,
your software having citations really helps, whether it is 10, 100
or 1000.
I would just write
[1] Debian GNU/Linux, version 12.7, the Debian project, https://www.debian.org
