Dear Maintainer,

I have been looking at the package d/copyright file and comparing against the
upstream sources.

If you grep for "Lesser" in the upstream sources
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/search?search=Lesser&nav_source=navbar&project_id=1659&group_id=8&search_code=true&repository_ref=main)
a dozen or so files mention the warranty basis of the source is found within
the LGPL license.

In Debians salsa - d/copyright just reflects the GPLv2+ wording.

Should the package copyright specifically list each file that has this
differing Lesser + GPLv2+ copyright wording?
