The source tarballs has to be Free and distributable on it's own, which means a full copy of the licenses used must be present. The contents of debian/copyright and the pointer to common-licenses aren't sufficient because they aren't part of the tarball.

When you repack the tarballs which AIUI you're already doing) add a copy of GPL v2.  That's all. You should ask upstream to do the same for the next upload.
