Hi,

According to https://spdx.org/licenses/ they are defined and supersede
GPL-2 and GPL-2+ now deprecated (maybe I should file a bug). OTOH I'm
reading that as long as copyright-format is not updated, new ones should
not be used.

Anyway, this is what I get if I switch to GPL-2 and GPL-2+ everywhere:

W: dwarves-dfsg source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2+ 
(paragraph at line 102)
N:

(paragraph at line 94)

I spent quite some time in trying to understand what lintian tries
to tell me here. I verified that reshuffling the file does not help
either, these errors stay in a similar location, as if lintian had some
bug somewhere.

I also expected they to be repeated as many times as in the files (yes,
I'm using --no-tag-display-limit -i) but they are not and so at certain
point I gave up.

I'm uploaded a new version with GPL-2/GPL-2+, should be available shortly.

Thanks for reviewing.

Regards,
Domenico
