The versionless symlink at /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL points to the GPL-3. In my opinion, it doesn't hurt to be specific. Of course, if you are using your option to use a latter version, then it is a moot point. * debian/rules: Regarding the use of quilt directly, see: http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 The other two make lintian a little happier.

Feel free to close this. I just happened to be looking at the source package. Obviously, none of these things require an upload in themselves. Thought I was being helpful. Sorry for the inconvenience, It's ok, it wasn't inconvenience. Comments are always welcomed. I have fixed s/Gnome/GNOME/ in the git repository and it will be uploaded next time I will update the package with major changes or upstream.
