We can, and do, distribute individual .debs.  We advertise in various
ways individual .debs.  It is true that we only *support* their use on
Debian systems, which can be relied on to have GPL copies.  But the
GPL doesn't say "you must give the recipient a copy of this License if
you are supporting their use of the software"  It says "if you give
them the sw, you must give them the License".
