I always thought technical debt was a euphemism for speed over quality. Slap the stuff together so it meets the milestone or deadline set by non-technical 'experts'. As in, the result lacks technical correctness & quality.
It is most often used in my experience not to hurt the feelings of Vice Presidents, while conveying the problem to those in the know. (/s)

I might be too hungover to decipher it properly, but I'm pretty sure it's saying: go back and fix the places you scarified quality in the name of development speed, but only if fixing it will unlock more development speed. (And don't let those shifty fucks sneak in a refactor that doesn't bring any development speed RIO).
