I find these terms to be somewhat ambiguous. If the requirement to accept the license before download applies only to downloads from the orginal site, I think this is fine. However, when they try to enforce downstream to present the license as an EULA before downloading, then I think this is not acceptable. Maybe not as a direct violation of the DFSG, but Debian provides no option to present an EULA before downloading packages, so distributing the software might even constitute contributory copyright infringement.
