From the Debian Social *Contract*, point 1:
We provide the guidelines that we use to determine if a work is
"free" in the document entitled "The Debian Free Software
Guidelines". *We promise that the Debian system and all its
components will be free according to these guidelines.*
(Emphasis mine.)
In order to deviate from the DFSG, you would need to modify the SC.
