Dropping it for derivatives would be different from dropping it for unmodified
work, which BY usually allows to be copied without restriction.

I am not even going to comment on that scenario.

To be fair to Debian, I believe that they will consider BY-SA without dual
distribution but that dual distribution would make acceptance a certainty.
