You can require that the source be distributed to the person to whom you are
distributing the binary.  You can't require that it be distributed to
anyone *else*.

You also have to accept "making the source available on the same site as the
binary", without requiring the user to actually download the source, as
sufficient, but that's a technical restriction due to the way Debian
packages operate.
