Well consider where the name came from.
It was invented by Ian Murdock whose wife's name is Debra or Deb for short.

Dee-bee-in. I also accent the first syllable.
I've never used it and I'm not familiar with the OS at all. So, I just pronounce it wrong. It's what sounds right in my head.
Technology dictionaries or references or articles really should have pronunciation guides accompanying the jargon words.
