That is indeed weird. Is there any config (either in your .config, or in /etc) that has been modified in your system? For example, do you perhaps have a registry configured, and one that requires a login? An unqualified "podman run debian" could try to resolve this to your local registry, which in turn may require a login, which implicitly calls "podman login", which in turn attempts to read from a variety of config paths, including $HOME/.docker/config.json.
