It is not actually a bug to specify GPL-2.0, as both GPL-2 and GPL-2.0
are acceptable. I'd say otherwise, scripts Ian mentioned that do not
support GPL-2.0 are buggy, and the format specification requires the
dot-zero version number to be accepted as well.

I think this is probably something that needs discussion if dh-make has been
doing that. I'll make a note to go through and see which is more popular and
make a post to debian-devel@ once I've got some statistics.

Uploaded! (:

Hi Iain!

Thanks for reviewing and considering to sponsor pkgdiff.
I changed 2.0 to 2. The ".0" is appended automatically if you use
dh_make for an initial template. Should I report a bug about this
to devscripts?

I reuploaded it to mentors and also pushed the changes to git.

Thanks again
Peter

Hi,

This package is not yet ready for upload, but it's almost there.

In debian/copyright, please change GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ to just GPL-2 and
GPL-2+ so that utilities that scan these files for these shortnames will
pick them up.

Once you've made that change, I would be happy to sponsor the upload of this
package.

Thanks,
Iain.
