it seems natural to me to use deb12 for debian 12

deb for debian as in file name extension of package

it follows Windows naming style: win7, win8 ...

but others don't think so, i google with deb12, few means debian

in past 20 years few call it debN (N=1,2,3...)

why few are interested in saving 4 characters (ian )?

I'd save Ian if I could.

I understood that it is some years too late to save Ian -

"
Ian Ashley Murdock (April 28, 1973 – December 28, 2015) was an American software engineer, known for being the founder of the Debian project and Progeny Linux Systems, a commercial Linux company.

... He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn, and himself.

"
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Murdock

Debian should always be mentioned as Debian, and, not Deb. I expect that his ex-wife, Debra, from whose name, is the Deb of Debian, would agree with that.
