For my packaging stuff I usually use the same license as the upstream 
sources (just like an "extension" of the software itself), and so I've done 
in this case (since foo-yc20 is GPL-3+).

That's a good point, but I've always seen the Debian part of a package 
tightly related to the software it referes to and so much difficult to 
reuse anyway. But I lack in experience, and probably in this I'm wrong.
