I think you will find that Debian would leave the copyright
attribution notices, warranty disclaimer and statement of licence.
Doing otherwise is a bug and can be dealt with simply.
Sadly, your "invariant section"-inspired changes to the GPL cause
other problems, which seem similar to combining an ad-clause licence
with the GPL.

dialogue about them first, thus inspiring the current license.
Maybe it could have been handled better, but you didn't seem to engage
in a dialogue on the banner removal before publicly accusing debian of
intentional plagiarism, so it's not entirely a debian communication
failure.
[...] You the distros created the need for less free
licensing by your behavior, frankly.
There is no need for less free licensing.
