Thanks a lot for your reply Charles. But I am a bit confuse... Is the debian/ a derivative work from upstream code? If yes, must be the license GPL-3+ or not? I didn't understand the fact of the upstream use GPL-3+ and debian/ can be GPL-2+ or other because I am thinking about derivative work. Thanks!
