DEHB-ee-un would presumably rhyme with "day bay soon", right? (Just
kidding.)
DEHB: rhymes with EBB or WEB.
ee: rhymes with BEE
ess on the first syllable:

I think Commonwealth English influence from western Canada and it's
physical,
auses us to reflexively pronounce Debian correctly on sight. I could
be wrong, though.

You have hit the nail right, squarely on the head here. A word's
pronunciation depends entirely on its history. Since
..common... first time...
I think the ones who pronounce it with eeb are the first timers, because
they based it on commonality; i.e.: they don't know yet the origin of the
Debian name.
BTW, was it Debbie or Debby?
And... is there any who pronounced deeborah?
