The initial example of te package clif I maintain you "binary-only" NMU
did clearly modify the source code. Please tell why you think your upload
complies with Section 3 of the GPL?
We allow people do do commercially distribute debian unstable on CD which
excludes 3c). Your NMU was not accompanied with the COMPLETE corresponding
machine-readable source code which violates alternative 3a) and I didn't
see a written offer that you'll give any third party, for a charge no more
than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code (alternative 3b) ).
