There are two options: separate copyright and trademark licenses and a "fused" 
license.

OPTION 1
Copyright license:
Copyright 1999 Software in the Public Interest
Permission is hereby granted to anyone to copy, modify, display or perform 
publicly, and/or redistribute this logo, with or without modifications.  
(This copyright license is not intended to grant a trademark license; see 
below for trademark license.)

Trademark license: 
This logo is a trademark/service mark of the Debian Project.
Permission is hereby granted to anyone to use this logo or a modified version 
to refer to the Debian project.  It does not indicate endorsement by the 
project.  
Modified versions which are sufficiently different so that they do not 
consitute trademark use or infringment -- that is, those which are not likely 
to cause confusion with Debian's logo in the minds of those seeing them -- 
may be used for any purpose.  (This trademark license is not intended to 
restrict or alter the grant of copyright license; see above for copyright 
license.)

OPTION 2
Fused license:
Copyright 1999 Software in the Public Interest
This logo is a trademark/service mark of the Debian Project.
Permission is hereby granted to anyone to copy, modify, display or perform 
publicly, and/or redistribute this logo, with or without modifications.  
Permission is hereby granted to anyone to use this logo or a modified version 
to refer to the Debian project.  It does not indicate endorsement by the 
project.  Additionally, permission is hereby granted to anyone to use 
modified versions which are sufficiently different so that they do not 
consitute trademark use or infringment (that is, those which are not likely 
to cause confusion with Debian's logo in the minds of those seeing them) for 
any purpose.

---
It should be possible to polish these a little (particularly the "constitute 
trademark use or infringement" line), but this is about right.
