This is kind of the flip-side of what I just said but is also correct,
in it's own way. In the end Debian doesn't feel the shipped-with-the-OS
exception in the GPL can apply.

Well, the GPL does say:
---
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
---
The 'unless that component itself accompanies the executable' bit would
be the problem for distributors who ship the whole thing as one OS.
Thanks,
Stephen
