Just say "it is acceptable to distribute binaries on a binary-only site, provided the download points the user to the corresponding source on a 3rd-party source distribution site (3rd party as in "not yours, not the app-store"). Note that the GPLv3 permits separate distribution of binary and source without triggering the "binary-only means you must offer source for 3 years" clause. (That was a bug in v2, which at least some people would love to have seen make its way into v3). It's a bug because it means the actions of the recipient change the liability of the provider.
