Debian can of course do whatever they want. But it should be noted that 
the QPL has been declared a Free Software license by the FSF, and 
certified Open Source by the OSI (using a definition nearly identical 
to the DFSG). In addition, there was no problems with the QPL for 
Debian in the past, even though these same issues have been brought up 
and examined repeatedly.
