Ha. At first I thought: damn, good argument. But after thinking of it a bit, I think there is one slight difference though: the use of Debian email servers does _not_ require the acknowledgement of the DMUP (anybody can send a mail transitioning trough Debian email servers, see e.g. the amounts of spam), where "being syndicated on planet" does (it is not possible to send spam to the planet without first getting the blog added to it by a DD), if I understand the issue correctly. So I'd say that emails are not under the scope of the DMUP, hence cannot be a violation of it.
