I've chosen the latter. That is, replacing Debian on my own machine, and no longer advocating the installation of Debian. I'll continue to maintain Debian packages for my Emacs-based software for at least a month or two, depending on whether I choose Ubuntu, which uses Debian packages. This is the official position of the GNU people as we can see on the GNU/Linux distribution recommendation page. I am clearly thinking myself switching entirely to GNU (using the GNU packaging system) but I am still hesitating since I am pretty used to Debian. I, for instance, have stopped advocating for Debian and I am advocating for the UTUTO project right now (and the GNU also).
