There's a perfectly reasonable argument that all packages distributed by Debian are modified in some way In fact this is not true as some of the maintainers of debian packages are the upstream developers themselve
For the sake of accuracy I would like to point out that I maintain a Debian package for which I am the upstream author, however due to various considerations the Debian releases contain changes from the upstream releases. I believe this to hold true for other such packages as well
