What evidence do you have to support this claim?
apt-get shows "B/s" for me, which I'm assuming is Bytes per second. At
no point does it ever say "Bits", nor would I expect a user-facing
application that works with files to report bits per second.

If your derivative hacker-centric OS is doing something different, then
you should report it as a bug to YOUR operating system's support team.
Not to the Debian end user mailing list.
