This sort of mindless sophistry accomplishes nothing. Requiring source does not make programs non-free. Failing to provide source is what makes programs non-free. The contents of the Debian archive is not non-free just because we require source. In most cases, requiring layered formats for source is going to result in getting layered formats for source. It is obviously the correct thing to be distributing; upstreams who have it but don't distribute it probably just didn't think of it.
