Besides being out of character it was just GROSS. The mechanism that makes siblings not be attracted to each other is social not biological - i.e. someone is much more likely to find themself attracted to a blood relative they've never met and don't know they're related to than they are to be romantically attracted to a non-blood-relative they've grown up with in a sibling relationship.
In other words, Deb suddenly being in love with Dexter - who she grew up with 100% as a brother - is just plain "psychological incest" even though they're not actually blood siblings. It's just messed up. Terrible writing and written as "it's cos he's adopted". Just not even psychologically accurate.
