(Closes: #882210) One major problem: debian/copyright in your work says that the whole project is licensed under GPL-2+, however the LICENSE file from upstream only gives GPLv2 license text. The README file also does not mention that the whole project is licensed under GPLv2 **or later**. Could you please contact upstream to clarify the case? The best output would be adding a "the whole project is licensed under GPLv2 or later" sentense in the README file, which would make things clear to everyone. P.S. I took a look at upstream's debian/copyright file at https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu/blob/master/debian/copyright , in which the upstream only mentioned GPL-2, not GPL-2+. If upstream is only willing to release the whole project under GPL-2-only, using GPL- 2+ is wrong and must be fixed. -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang
