At this time, no longer a sysadmin, yet software I'm working on is being
deployed for data on the upper extreme of sizes.

Oookay, but what does this have to do with a website's front page? You
install packages from the repository, not from the landing. Heck, despite
using Debian for two decades, I've visited the front page of
https://debian.org probably less than ten times, every time having a hard
time to find what I wanted (even for stale^Wstable install images, it's the
d-i page I'm accustomed to).

Which depends on merits of your actions, not the colours of a webpage.

At this point, I'd be vary of using whatever product the company that
employs _you_ makes. If a sysadmin is so naive to not spot such an obvious
joke, he or she can't be trusted to not fall for social engineering attacks
or to spot any actual security threat.
