Why, the developers themselves, of course. They are reachable on the
dedicated mailing list, at http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd.
If I had time, I'd certainly experiment with the support for ZFS and
FreeBSD jails that this port of Debian supports.

Yes.
When Linux stopped booting on my 2001-vintage IBM ThinkPad T22 (probably
due to RAM or chipset problems), I revived this machine by installing
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD on it; that kernel did boot and made the machine
usable for another year -- its third life, so so speak, after Windows
and Debian GNU/Linux. This machine finally died and is still in my
basement, as a source for spare parts :)
