I don't think there is a straight answer to it.

Support for community distributions is built, either in-house, or
through a consulting company.

Most companies want to partner a product company, set up a MoU, a legal
agreement, and then declare support.

With Debian, this will never apply because Debian does not have a 1-
800-SUPPORT number. Nor can one hold Debian accountable for not
resolving a problem per a defined SLA.
