Dear maintainer,

the d/copyright of this package reads as follows:

%<--------------
[...]
License: GPL-2.0 or LGPL-2.1
[...]
License: GPL-2.0
 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
 (at your option) any later version.
[...]

 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
[...]
-------------->%

So, you're reporting the excerpt of the "or later" variants but calling
them with their "not later" names.

See the reference page for more information.
