What is the naming convention for Debian distributions?

The naming convention for Debian releases is based on characters from cartoons, such as Debian 9 named “Stretch” and Debian 10 named “Buster”. These names are decided collectively by developers in the Debian community, often to honor their favorite characters or fictional personalities. Each release name must start with a specific letter and follow the order of the alphabet. For example, the name of Debian 11 will start with the letter “L”.
