The COPYING file just contain the LGPL2.1 and doesn't say anything about using
a later version of the license. Sometimes you get the license text in the
COPYING file and a note in the README on how to apply the license. IE LGPLv2.1
only or LGPLv2.1 or any later version at the users choice.  Hence my point.

Nope. That's incorrect. you should be able to recreate the tar ball with the
same md5sum by using the procedure. That's the whole point of the md5sum.... to
ensure the source code isn't modified from upstream official code/release.
