Okay, I was being a bit facetious there, but if you insist on taking me seriously, I suspect that the pronunciation of the project initiator is, at least in the case of Debian, more correct than most alternatives. In particular, because the etymology is from a contraction of Deborah and Ian[1], pronouncing it as the first three letters of each of those names seems appropriate.
