ah! we may have just had some cross-over.

did you mean the sections "fixing local paths" (etc)?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013920#60

no, that would not be sufficient.  it still violates DFSG (most of it).

there is also the issue that even placing a public copy of source
code on a git repository also constitutes "Distribution".

i gave some suggestions which would be much more reasonable
(and general) already, they may have been missed:

   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013920#40

those much more general statements basically say

    "we trust you not to do any damage under our name"

the new additions basically say:

    "you're clearly too stupid to be trusted so we're going to
     lock out your rights"

it should therefore come as no surprise that trying to go in
that direction would directly conflict with everything that DFSG
strives towards.
