Hum... from the very first page of http://www.debian.org by any chance

And that's the very first thing people read about Debian, even the
thing they keep in their bookmarks (page title). If this statement is
erroneous, it should be removed ASAP.
But frankly, it was clearly a joke to write that you didn't knew
where it comes from, wasn't it?

Only if you have reading comprehension difficulties. I know perfectly
well where you can find it now, thank you very much; my question was
where it came from *originally*.

I might be running against the flow, here, but when I look at how many
locales and architectures Debian caters for, and how long it holds past
distributions in archive for the benefit of those on old/obsolete
hardware, I find it difficult to come up with terminology that is more
appropriate.
Regards,
David.
