I'll take care of the change if you both agree.
Why do you need relicensing of the packaging? I ask because I maintain several hundred packages, and am genuinely interested in understanding if someone find my packaging style a nuisance, and if so, how more specifically. I generally license y packaging work as strongly copyleft, regardless of upstream licensing, by the logic that I want to encourage copyleft licensing while respecting the upstream choice: My packaging does not "infect" upstream code (if I create patches for upstream code then I am happy to license _those_ more relaxed), and anyone wanting a Debian-packaging can freely choose to respect my choice of licensing or redo packaging for their own independent distribution.
