Okay, you guys suckered me in to this :>
It is my recollection that the long/short vowel was determined by the
breaking of the sylables. I.E. if a sylable ends on a vowel, the vowel
is long. This would explain the differences in Debian, because it is
not clear where the sylables should be (without knowing the origin of
it: DEBra + IAN). That is it could break as: De-bi-an, in which case
the 'e' would be long. Or it could break as Deb-i-an, in which case the
'e' is short.
Just my 2 generic denomination units.
