doesn't mixing GPlv2-or-later code with GPLv3 code result in code that
is GPLv3 only? I fail to see why this would be of RC severity. I mean,
there is no GPLv2-only code involved.

I have seen this commit but decided to wait for the GPLv3 licensed sha1
implementation to get replaced as well before I take action on the
Debian package.

Cheers,

Fabian
