I don't thik that is how DFSG is intrepreted. If that were the case,
then we won't able to modify upstream tarball at all.

I am not surprised (but frustrated and sad) that you try to argue that
what is listed as upstream source need not be upstream source.

If upstream source is not <a href="https://github.com/lodash/lodash">https://github.com/lodash/lodash</a> but instead
it is <a href="https://github.com/lodash/lodash">https://github.com/lodash/lodash</a> then it is a(nother) bug that the
package points at the wrong place for its upstream source.
<blockquote> We don't usually specify the releases page in debian/copyright only
the project page. You can verify this against any other package in
debian.

That's no bug if project page _also_ is upstream source, as is commonly
the case e.g. at Github.
It is a minor bug when project page clearly and unambiguously references
upstream source.
It is a severe bug when project page serves code which upstream use as
their prefered form for editing but the code distributed with Debian as
"upstream source" is *not* that same code but instead some other code,
regardless how clearly that other non-source code is referenced from
project page, and regardless if upstream labels that other code as their
"releases".

It may very well be "source" but not "upstream source".

This bug is *not* about embedded code, it is about the main code.
