This wasn't HTML. I'm not sure whether it is now HTML3, and, if not,
I'd need to carefully read the spec to find out the correct error recovery.
It really should be:
<a class="foo" href=..>Debian</a>
however, if you want another element, div should be span, as links are
inline, but div is block.
My guess is that lynx does error recovery based on seeing a block
element where inline is expected, and closes the, inline, a at that
point. However, one of the features of HTML3 is that the error recovery
is defined by the specification, so this will have a defined behaviour,
even if it is invalid. I doubt that Lynx is HTML3 compliant in this regard.
