Yes, that would be nice. As long as the tarball is in its current state, just
update the License field and drop COPYING for now. Once a new tarball with
corrected license text is available, readd it.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Ubuntu guidelines, but I doubt "GPLv2+
with exceptions" is correct. GPLv3+ is compatible with but more restrictive
than GPLv2+. Since both licenses are part of the generated binary, we have to
find the "intersection" of them. GPLv2+ intersected with GPLv3+ is GPLv3+ as
the latter is some kind of "subset" of GPLv2+.
"GPLv2+ with exceptions" is reserved for special GPLv2+ variants with exception
clauses in the source headers. See here:

Sorry Brendan, I didn't intend to hijack this ticket. If you'd like to do the
formal review, please do so. :)
