maybe this is too pedantic, but are you saying:
1) it can be distributed in binary form using unpatched sources ONLY, or
2) if distributed as solely binary, it must come from unpatched sources.

thus, if the debian package were to somewhat wastefully contain both
source AND binary, would it be permitted to use patched sources for it.
