Yes, it looks exactly the same issue I faced. I hope you can confirm and 
fix it

Perfect, I will do that. To be honest I was not sure how to submit the 
proposed fix, I also tried to submitted directly to

https://salsa.debian.org/build-common-team/regexp-pattern-license

but I was not able to see a way to send a MR.

Please advice what is the best way to contribute.

Thanks in advance.
