Currently the tag "missing-license-text-in-dep5-copyright" is emitted
when the copyright file looks like this:
----
Files: *
Copyright: yyyy-yyyy etc
License: MPL-1.1 or GPL-2+ or LGPL-2.1+
License: MPL-1.1
etc
License: GPL-2
etc
License: LGPL-2.1
etc
----
This is unnecessarily strict, because it means we need to have separate
paragraphs for both GPL-2 and GPL-2+ licensed portions of the code.
Yes, you _do_ need separate paragraphs for GPL-2 and GPL-2+, because the
license text is different. I.e., it would normally be something like:
| Files: foo
| License: GPL-2
|
| Files: bar
| License: GPL-2+
|
| License: GPL-2

| License: GPL-2

I can't see anything in the DEP-5 specification that'd support your
interpretation. However, if you still feel that this was the intended
meaning, please file a bug against debian-policy asking for
clarification.
