Not mentioning Linux (despite saying that I liked that suggestion) is perhaps one of the more controversial choices, but there we are. This version is from commit ID 1875a0f6dc4e1431362611a0f54c8aa5ca2cbf97 in my published working copy. For anyone else considering flyering: please check your local area's regulations. I was slightly surprised to find out that there are a number of legal restrictions on flyering here in the UK; I suppose it does make sense, in order to reduce noisy/spammy advertising. Delivering flyers into letterboxes appears to be an acceptable and reasonably effective way to distribute them here. That'll likely leave less opportunity for questions and conversation about Debian itself, but it's a way to get started.
