Thanks for your bug report.
(Which note BTW?)
I tried just running dh-make-perl against RT::Authen::ExternalAuth
0.08, and the result looks good:

This was with dh-make-perl 0.72-1 from unstable; I'm inclined to
close this bug against 0.71-1 or 0.72-1, but I'm hesitating since I
don't find any relevant changes in the code.

dh-make-perl looks at META.yml first; in this case there's
license: GPL version 2
and the code in lib/DhMakePerl/Command/Packaging.pm does:
elsif ( $mangle_cprt =~ /GPL.*version\s*2/is ) {
so this should be caught (in is in my test).
(That part of the code was last touched in March 2010, and should be
in the package unchanged since 0.65).
Mysterious.
Ok, let's install dh-make-perl 0.70-1:
Same result:

Could you please try again, and/or
1) provide exact steps how you see the problem
2) the created debian/copyright
