With respect to visa issues, early application is always a good ideal. I work for a US government agency that hosts international guests for training three to four times a year. We usually don't know who is going to show up until we actually see the people arrive on the first day of training. This is usually due to trying to rush the visa process.
If someone *thinks* they want to attend DebConf10, I suggest they commit to attending and apply for a visa sooner rather than later. It just makes things easier. This advice applies anytime a visa is needed to visit any country, not just the USA.
