“Dedication” was associated with the consecration of church buildings, ca. 12c., before being applied to personal devotion.
“Debt” is one of those words whose spelling was superstitiously reconstituted with the discarded b in the 14c. There’s enough common ground between dedication to someone or something, and being in its debt, to permit a bit of cross-fertilization.

Conversely, some of the many examples of “indeded” may conceal “dedicate.” The vast majority, though, are misspellings, sans doute.
