Can I modify the DFSG (and not derive from)?

The DFSG is free enough to be useful -- you still cannot just simply
modify it and redistribute it under the same name, do you? Or is that
exactly what mean "build on"? Am I able to publish a DFSG named DFSG
(if it's just because Debian may be (is?) a trademark, it's not
related to the license)?
May I for instance take a copy of Debian and redistribute it by _only_
changing the DFSG text, adding a line saying that the GFDL qualified
documentation as free documentation?
