So I don't see any problems.
Wouldn't that means that the debian package can only be distributed/used under GPL-3+, and thus e.g. a library can't be linked from / used in something with a noncompatible license (including GPL-2), even if the upstream program allowed it? (Assuming that there is something copyrightable in debian/ minus debian/patches/, and for other packages that the upstream license was compatible with GPL-3+ in the first place) -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
