Given that in practice the ftp-masters get the final say, it isn't. If you don't count that, saying "Anything in debian is software because debian only distributes software" is as well. I tend to agree with the probable conclusion of applying DFSG to determine the freeness of anything in debian. However, the reasoning is fundamentally flawed. David Harris' explanation is much better.
