Here:

 PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using
 its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's
 value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as
 a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the
 sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the
 page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves
 "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages
 "important."

So I'm saying perhaps EFF has more votes then Debian does.
