Sounds like a good idea. Not only will it possibly reveal unpatched bugs
in free software, but it will also give your software quite a stress test.

You don't need Debian's approval to do this; just go ahead and start it
running. I suggest that if you do start finding a lot of security holes,
you talk to MITRE to get CAN numbers for the holes you find. And then go
ahead and report the security bugs in the normal manner.
