There is no copyright problem with the image so the GPL isn't a problem,
it is a trademark issue. Please read the trademark guidelines at
debian.org. They are about as open as to usage as anyone has ever tried
to be about using their logo and name, but it has to be used in
connection to debian. Not a derived distro, debian itself. Recall that
they even stopped the debian-multimedia repository from calling itself
that. If the debian project doesn't release the packages they can't use
the marks (the word 'debian' and the swirl image). And at this point
I'd say the odds of a systemdless variant being accepted as an official
Debian blessed effort is zero.
