I found
  https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines
which Mario Marietto should check.

Naming of files is not mentioned, afaics.
But there is much emphasis on not using "Debian" in the name of the
"business". This demand applies to various software packages and artwork,
too:
  https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines#De-.2FRe-branding

I wonder whether a preseeded Debian Live ISO constitutes a derived distro
and Mario Marietto's preseeding project qualifies as "business".
The changes of which i know use an official Debian mechanism to shorten
or hardcode the installation process. The Live personality is completely
unchanged, afaik.

So for now the only non-Debian thing is the title
  "BridgeVmOS Debian Custom"
in
  https://ibb.co/GHHDQ3H
It looks like a project name and thus could be regarded as "business".

I wonder whether a title like
  "Debian , preseeded by BridgeVmOS"
would be ok.


Well, before following the Guideline advise
  "Consult the DebianProjectLeader meanwhile on a case-by-case basis"
Mario Marietto should probably list the changes in his ISO towards the
original ISO. I know of:
  - Introducing a preseed file.
  - Changing logo files in the initrd.
  - (Packing up the ISO with xorrisofs options which are equivalent to
     those currently used by Debian Live, as far as boot capabilities are
     concerned. But Debian could move to other layouts for booting.)

Such a list could then be the base of decisions.


Have a nice day :)
