Are you referring to [1]? Because the full paragraph is about Program's source 
code.

[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2000/11/msg00260.html

"  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program."

To me Program should be read here as "Program in source code form"

As to point 3 referring to points 1, it says:

"  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following(…)"

I don't think it means the object code must provide a license, just that the 
program which is redistributed respect points 1 and 2.


Best regards.
