Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.70-1
Severity: minor

dh-make-perl fails to correctly identify RT::Authen::ExternalAuth version 0.08
(available on CPAN) as being licensed under the GPLv2. Per the note it
generated in debian/copyright, I'm reporting this as a bug.

As far as I can tell, the text in LICENSE appears to just be an older version
of the GPLv2 than the one presented in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2. The
only difference I see in the actual text is that still refers to the LGPL by
its old "Library General Public License" name.
