I think Andrew's reading is more picky than I've generally seen us be.
I think that if you do not need to modify any of the files they
distribute in order to package, you can make a sufficiently credible
claim that you have not modified the software.
The question in my mind is whether you are redistributing for the sole
purpose of using their backup service.
I'm not worried about the case where a user does something different:
users are expected to read and comply with the licenses of non-free
software they install.
Debian has no plans to use their backup service. Instead, we're
redistributing in order to make it easier for others to do so.
I don't know whether that's the same as redistributing to use their
backup service.
I'd go ask them.
