In the transition to ELF phase, our gcc package used i486-debian-linux, which then caused some problems with software/documentation expecting i486-unknown-linux. Still, I'm tempted to say: "put the debian in", it's better than unknown. BTW, wasn't there some talk on having an extra part for the full system name, to indicate "mainly GNU based"? (gnu.misc.discuss, emacs perhaps?)
