I think it is in Securing Debian Manual.

It can be located in CVS version of web page (See URL below) and in
unastable archive (I hope by now) as harden-doc package:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/

I recommend to read our DDP documents

Debian FAQ
Debian Reference
Securing Debian Manual

Cheers:-)
