Stop calling .deb packages "Debian packages", it's confusing – Use "Deb packages" instead? #4639

Hey,

Thanks for everything. However, the "Debian packages" should refer to Debian GNU/Linux Distribution packages, not to Ubuntu compatible packages as currently.

This pollutes search engine results and makes it more difficult to find instructions for Debian setups (tier 3 supported).

Similar change was earlier made with https://deb-multimedia.org/ (an independent Debian binary repository). It was debian-multimedia.org before, but had to change on request.

Your thoughts?

Thanks & BR,

We discussed it internally, and agree with you that it should be deb or debs. See #4669 4669, which should fix this.
