Really? It's not at all obvious to me. I have lots and lots of
addresses, many with no public connection between them... I have no
idea how many you have and where they may be and what forwarding rules
you have between them.

Who said 'jorman@austin.rr.com' did any of that?
(And, no, sendmail, as in the package from sendmail.org, doesn't add
resent headers. A client may. "echo madduck@madduck.net > ~/.forward"
won't add any resent headers with sendmail or postfix, and probably not
with exim either.... I don't know the qmail forward mechanism to know
whether or not it would... but of course, all of that is POINTLESS
because as you noted before, these are servers owned by RoadRunner and
they're running Windows-based MTA's, so how Unix MTA's behave is
irrelevant.)
Why would Debian, in an attempt to mail -you- send it to austin.rr.com
mail servers and address it to 'jorman@austin.rr.com' when they're not
doing that for anyone else? Hint: they're not.
The question would be, then, why 'jorman@austin.rr.com' is forwarding
mail to you. That's something s/he would have to answer, and not
something debian-user could answer.
I didn't say you were stupid: you're just looking in the wrong place.
