Debian contains software in "main" which is covered by the AGPLv3. In
2008, Joerg Jaspert wrote on behalf of the ftpmasters and ftp-team:
The short summary is: We think that works licensed under the AGPL can
go into main. (Provided they don't have any other problems).

However, software with a specific restriction you mention,

is unlikely to be DFSG-free if it is prohibited to remove the specific
restriction.
If you are talking about a specific piece of software, please name it
and post its license so that we know what we are discussing.
