IANAL, but I don't think http://www.jveloso.cl/ usage of Debian logo is 
allowed by the license as it does not refer to Debian project.

 So, if you need any help locally please let me know.

Let's assume this is an oversight from the aforementioned web site. I guess 
that a polite e-mail in Spanish mentioning Debian logo's license should be a 
good first step.

That said, I am not a Debian developer, so Debian old timers may have a 
different opinion.

Hope this helps

This clause is for the logo with Debian text. The license for the logo
without Debian is as follows (where I believe 'software' is the logo):

| Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
| copy of this software and associated documentation files (the Software),
| to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation
| the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense,
| and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the
| Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:
| 
| The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
| all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

I'm deliberately not offering any advice because I am not a lawyer. I suggest
that further discussion is moved to debian-legal or to SPI, who are the
copyright holders.
