as far as Debian..
well there's dpkg specs, and
http://www.debian.org/devel
is probably helpful.
as far as UNIX..
Might I recommend "The Design of the UNIX Operating System", Bach,
Maurice J. Prentice Hall
It's small, and fairly generic (not too BSD or SysV-ish).
Apart from that.. there's the LDP
www.linuxdoc.org which has numerous excellent GUIDES and HOWTO's
Use the topical index, not the alphabetic one and you'll find
some good texts. I recall there's one about linux 2.4 internals
but last I checked it was not complete.
If you just want a generic overview of lots of operating systems
http://www.operatingsystems.net is great for that.
Unfortunately this site is going down soon, but I archived it
*looks* somewhere, contact me if you need it, I'd probably stick it
up somewhere public, but wouldn't want my server swamped either.
