If Apple put in code they don't own and Debian distributed it, then clause 5 means that when the people sue Apple for that distribution, Debian has to pay for Apple's defense. Normally, Debian would only pay for Debian's defense. Clauses 3 and 4 just means that if the code doesn't work, don't complain to Apple. That only closes out a narrow class of reasons to sue Apple.
