Tom's comment was: "Why can't someone choose to offer support exclusively to customer A but not any other customer?" But as long as you are not guaranteeing that customer A is the only one that gets a warranty, you're okay. I don't see how this would come up in practice.
So while I see how a reasonable person or distribution might want to steer clear of this license and I wish the outcome were different so this obnoxious license could quickly fade into obscurity, I am not convinced it violates the guidelines Debian uses to determine what software is free, nor their spirit. (For what little that's worth. I am neither a lawyer nor a Debian Developer.)
