"Debian-+" is used by ps to tell you that the the user name was
truncated and beginning with "Debian-":
$ ps -O user,uid,sid -e | grep pulse | grep Debian
1137 Debian-+ 115 1136 S ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
1149 Debian-+ 115 1136 S ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper
The user is Debian-gdm which is used by Debian for GDM:
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep 115
Debian-gdm:x:115:122:Gnome Display Manager:/var/lib/gdm3:/bin/false
On my machine (testing), those two processes are the only remaining
parts of a session of Debian-gdm. I'm not sure if this is a bug of
pulseaudio, gdm, logind or something else.
