The first two will match stemmed versions of "debian" such as
"debian's" and "debianed". However, starting a term with a capital
letter suppresses stemming (because it suggests that it's a name,
which you wouldn't want to modify), so your last query matches only
the term "debian". This is probably documented somewhere, though I
don't know where.

Most of this is in the Xapian query syntax document you found. Really
we ought to beef-up Notmuch's query syntax documentation.
