Well, the upstream maintainer uploaded a new tarball and included the
license in it. However the upstream version is the same (1.10). I would
like to ask, what I shall do now. How shall I update the package? I have
got four ideas:

(i)   increase the epoch number (not good, I think)
(ii)  ask the upstream maintainer to change the version to 1.10.1 or
      something like that
(iii) ask the upstream maintainer if he intents to change a version
      directly to 1.11 for the next release or to something like 1.10.1.
      if directly to 1.11, then change the version to 1.10.1 for the
      Debian package only (I cannot get to conflict with the upstream
      versioning, because next release version will be greater than
      1.10.1)
(iv)  something else, what i do not know about
