The Debian images can be found using the following parts of the image URN:

An example for the final resource name Debian:debian-13:13-arm64:latest.

Debian is available for syndication from the public Azure Marketplace and can be imported this way directly into the local Azure Stack installation.
Known problems
VM extensions are not installed
Images created during the second half of calendar year 2023 disabled Azure VM extensions. This was an intentional decision on Debian's part as part of a response to an Azure issue. Azure's issue was resolved in late 2023 and images created after January 2024 re-enable extensions. Please see the cloud team's announcement of its response to the initial issue for more details. The announcement of re-enabling extensions is also available in the list archives.
If you're using an image impacted by this issue, re recommend that you update to a current image release.
