[Owncloud] Distro packages and AGPL3 compliance

[Lars Meyser]

Hi,

I'm considering to install owncloud on my Debian server and I would prefer to use the owncloud package because it eases the maintenance burden for me, but I am wondering how I can comply with the AGPLv3 in that case. Debian (as other distros) modifies the source with several patches and from my reading of the AGPL that requires me to "prominently" offer my users a way to retrieve exactly this modified source code. The Debian package does nothing like that, so I suppose I would have to create my own app or theme in order to include links to the sources listed on http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/owncloud?
This seems very tedious and probably neutralizes any benefit of using distro packages instead of the unmodified upstream version of owncloud. This does not only concern Debian, I found that the Fedora and SUSE packages contain modifications as well. Is it actually possible to use distro packages of owncloud on a publically accessible server without violating the AGPL?
