Yes, you would. I would encourage you to ship source for all the
software you are shipping instead of just for the GPL software.
This command will download the corresponding source packages for all
binary packages installed on a Debian system:
dpkg -l | tail -n+6 | awk '{ print $2 "=" $3 }' | xargs apt-get source
--download-only --
I'd encourage you to take a look at this example of a device with GPL
compliance:

I would discourage you from using the "offer-of-source" provisions of
the GPL, they have various downsides:
