License: GPL-3+ or Expat
^^ A license block for which there is no file section?.
I fail to reproduce the bug.
If this is still an issue, then please provide the output of only the
licensecheck command - without the licensecheck2dep5 wrapper applied by
CDBS (you should be able to get the bare command from the buildlog.
