The reason that Debian does not include the drivers for RTL8111 in whichever 
installer you used (you do not say which it was) will be that RTL8111 
requires a non-free driver and Debian includes only free software by default.  
There are ways round this, but you don't give enough information.

Many other distributions do include some non-free firmware by default.

As has been pointed out, Debian is neither a person, nor an organisation.
