Bug#863659: debian/copyright puts LGPL-2.1+ text in GPL-2.1+ license block

Package: libgpg-error0

Followup-For: Bug #863659

This appears to be a use of the wrong tag.

License: GPL-2.1+

should be

License: LGPL-2.1+


Failure to have correct copyright information is a Debian Policy 
violation and merits a serious bug severity.



Bug#863659: debian/copyright puts LGPL-2.1+ text in GPL-2.1+ license block

Package: libgpg-error0
Version: 1.26-2
Severity: minor

/usr/share/doc/libgpg-error0/copyright contains a block headed
“License: GPL-2.1+”, but it contains the license text for the LGPL.

I believe libgpg-error0 is in fact licensed under the LGPL, so only the
heading needs to change.
