Thanks a lot for your reply Charles. But I am a bit confuse... Is the
debian/ a derivative work from upstream code? If yes, must be the
license GPL-3+ or not?

I didn't understand the fact of the upstream use GPL-3+ and debian/
can be GPL-2+ or other because I am thinking about derivative work.

Thanks!
