Say what?
If you GPL a program and don't provide source code, Debian doesn't even have
the right to distribute it, since they have to distribute it with the source
code and they don't have that. The fact that you are the copyright owner means
that your sending it *to* Debian is legal, but that doesn't grant Debian
permission to distribute it any further.
Why would Debian accept something it's not allowed to distribute?
