You can make a fork of Debian anytime you want. But you're going to get in legal trouble if you call it "Debian II" and use a similar logo. That's trademark protected, and the Debian devs aren't going to be happy with some rando using their name and logo in a way that might confuse people.

I thought it would then be DebDeb. Or DebIrene. Or DebElaine. DebEllen...
Please tell me this is real.
As it's FOSS you can always make it real if it isn't already
The code is FOSS, the logo and branding are not.

Which is why you don't make Debian II. You make Lesbian using a rainbow coloured Aldi imitation style logo of Debian.

Seen such stickers for a decade at least
Mint is based on Debian, right? 🥵
