Thorsten, there is an easy explanation for this: apparently Péter's BSD-2 
licensed code was modified and released with additional restriction as BSD-3 
(or the other way around, Péter's additions are BSD-2 without additional 
clause). In any case the whole thing is BSD-3 licensed and both copyright 
holders are mentioned in the "debian/copyright" so I'm not sure what else do 
you expect?

I've also opened bug report with upstream about it:
