From http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-step3, under "A. Philosophy":
"Note: The term "is expected to agree with the Debian philosophy" only applies to the work the applicant will do for Debian, and the ideals they will use when doing Debian work. These principles and guidelines are established expressly for the Debian Project."
You're simply being asked to pay lip service to the Free Software Guidelines and Social Contract and show understanding of what they mean and represent. Provided you don't sound like you want to subvert the project from within or attempt to sneak Non-Free software into main, you're pretty much in the clear. This doesn't sound too onerous to me.
