I prefer the flavour of the Django one. The first point is, "Be welcoming, friendly and patient" which feels to me to be about going out of your way to help people and making a positive effort to be good, and the rest is in the same spirit. The Debian one feels a bit less positive: "be wiling to explain to others", "try to stay on topic" etc. The Django one also gives examples of things you may be doing wrong, which can be helpful. But both are good - I certainly wouldn't vote against something that looked like the Debian one.
