I don't think anyone has worked on Debian/NetBSD for a few years now. A 
better and more supported example may be:

 Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
 http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/

It uses the FreeBSD kernel with GLIBC.

Also see:

  Gentoo/FreeBSD
  http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/bsd/fbsd/

Gentoo/FreeBSD is FreeBSD using the Gentoo init system, administration
utilities, toolchain, and portage.

Also Mac OS X and Darwin uses a lot of "BSD".
